Pit Bull Nation

Pit Bull Nation is just the kind of book a pit bull lover, or any dog lover would thoroughly enjoy! While I'm not finished with it yet, (my reading time is limited), every chapter gives me more insight into the world of shelter dogs, and the outstanding and dedicated people that give their all for the dogs! This is the kind of book I will not give up, because I know I'll read it again. Cindy pours out her heart, and her readers will be ever grateful for her honesty and compassion! Great read, from a great lady! Keep up the fight Cindy! The dogs need you, and so do your loyal readers!

If you ever wanted to look into the life of a rescuer of the most discriminated against breed in the US, the Pit Bull, then you MUST read this book. In the book, you will read wonderful stories of pit bulls who were saved. There are also sad stories of the ones who didn't make it. The ones who were victims of discrimination and unnecessary power struggles that take place in the rescue world. You get a better understanding of why the breed gets such a bad reputation. (HINT: It's not the dogs' fault). But more than anything, you see the dedication it takes to rescue a breed in such dire need of help. This is a book that is great for current and potential rescuers. You learn that you are not alone in your feelings for the breed and why you just "know in your knower" that they are great dogs that just want to be loved. More importantly, I think that this book should be read by potential adopters and people who are not familiar, or are even afraid, of pit bulls. That reader will see that pit bulls can provide their family with just as much love as any other breed found in the shelter.

As a pit bull rescuer, I wish more people would read this book and get a better understanding of this magnificent breed.

Cindy's love and tenacious spirit for this breed is truly admirable. I wish that more people were as genuine as her. The APBT is my all time favorite breed of dog. I currently own three pitties, two are rescues. I didnt always like pitbulls.

I was ignorant like many people are today. But over time I educated myself and my family and we soon became proud, pittie owners about eight years ago. Now I can't get enough of them. Thank You Cindy for having the courage to fight for these loyal companions and for being their voice when no one else would.

This book should be read by anyone with the preconceived notion that pit bulls are bad, vicious dogs. The breed is so misunderstood, a kind of doggie discrimination. Bottom line is, a dog is what the owner makes it 99% of the time. Read this book and it will enlighten you, plus it's a great story.
