When Bronwen Dickey brought her new dog home, she saw no traces of the infamous viciousness in her affectionate, timid pit bull. Which made her wonder: How had the breed - beloved by Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Keller, and TV’s Little Rascals - come to be known as a brutal fighter? Her search for answers takes her from 19th-century New York City dogfighting pits - the cruelty of which drew the attention of the recently formed ASPCA - to early 20th-century movie sets where pit bulls cavorted with Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton; from the battlefields of Gettysburg and the Marne, where pit bulls earned presidential recognition, to desolate urban neighborhoods where the dogs were loved, prized, and brutalized.
Whether through love or fear, hatred or devotion, humans are bound to the history of the pit bull. With unfailing thoughtfulness and compassion and a firm grasp of scientific fact, Dickey offers us a clear-eyed portrait of this extraordinary breed and an insightful view of Americans’ relationships with their dogs.

How is a pit bull an American icon? That is an asinine statement, why not a grey squirrel, or Robbin. It’s like people pushing their dogs in baby carriages or dressing them. It’s just a dog that craps in the yard and tries to hump your leg. Who Cares!

They’re smarter than you and probably better looking!

Thanks for uploading this book!
And for that person who made a crappy comment, take a lesson from dear old Thumper: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.”

I find it amusing that the person discouraging all unkind comments made an unkind comment in the same sentence.
