I have a lab/pit mix and she is the
sweetest most playfull and smartest
dog we've ever had. And I've read
about the falicy of the strength
of the jaw-that it has been researched
that there is no more pressure from
a pit than any other dog (allowing for
size) so I will look forward to you
next book on pits!

Now we are off to look for a brother
for Mocha Jean, probably a lab mix of
some sort, I'm not sure about another
pit/lab mix because she is kind of dominant.

Wow! I can't wait to catch all of your interview on the internet, and my Amazon.com order is on the way!

Thank you for your positive portrayal of rescue and adoption, and especially of the pit bull/bully breeds. I rescued a little pup who turned out to be a pit bull mix, and was as wonderful and intelligent a dog as I have ever met. I started researching the breed, and am horrified at how irresponsible owners and the media image are destroying the breed, and how BSL threatens all of us who love these dogs. Ken, thank you so much for educating people on how wonderful these dogs can really be.

For other owners who would like to know specifically more about the breed, www.badrap.org is a wonderful place to start!

I heard your Fresh Air interview today while driving home and really enjoyed it. I made a detour to check out your book from the library (poor college student here), and placed my name on the list to receive it once the library receives their copy.

I really, really enjoyed your interview on Fresh Air. Coincidentally, I was wearing "My Granddaughter is a Pit Bull" t-shirt today. My college-student daughter (who hopes to graduate a vetinarian) brought home a pit bull puppy she rescued from western Palm Beach County. Although I was hesitant at first, Kesi with proper training and socializing is the most loving and loyal dog we've ever known! She's great with our 17-year old dog (lets her eat first) and 4 cats. Thanks for spreading the word above the true nature of most pit bulls!

Caught your interview midway through on the radio and went online to hear the rest-- what a wonderful interview! We thought it was so great that we talked about it on our dog podcast and linked to the online version from our website at k9cast.com :) - Looking forward to checking out the book! Glad we found your website, your dogs are awesome!

I was really moved by your interview on Fresh Air. I too got my pit bull through an ad on Petfinder, not knowing what breed she was, and she has turned out to be the sweetest, most affectionate dog I've ever personally known. Thank you for spreading the news!

Caught most of your interview and what to offer a couple suggestions. First the dog on little rascals is not a pit but an American Bulldog. Not sure about the RCA think you might be correct. To be fair some AB's do share some pit and may resemble...oh also doubt the 85lb dog you were talking about was a pit?

This said if you have pits or AB's you are aware they are not labs...I have an AB and she is a wonderful pet but will never be confused with a golden retreiver. These breeds of dogs are not for everyone. I was against breed bans until we got our AB and became familar with the breed. Ours is a memeber of the family who is the sweetest...still see so many out there who should not own dogs period and who given a bull breed..well that is why the bans.

Well, you probably should have listened a little more carefully. I never said anything about the RCA dog.

I'm curious that you endorse a law that would make it possible for someone to take your dog an euthanize it. Are you sure you like your dog? Maybe you should find another home for it, now.

Valentino, the 85 pound pit bull, can be seen on the www.dogswhofoundme.com website. He doesn't really look 85 pounds, but trust me, we weighed him.

You are a wonderful, rare and talanted person. I was driving when I heard your interview, and I literally had to pull over to cry. I can feel the tears welling up again as I type this.

Your words released an overwhelming wave of feelings from deep within me. The feelings were not new to me, as I have gradually accumulated them over many years. I experienced each of them in situ, but your words elicited all of them at once.

I cannot offer enough praise for a person that is able to share their own experiences in a manner that captures so many of my own feelings and experiences.

I heard your interview on fresh air and truly enjoyed it. I myself have adopted from the dog pound and can relate how special and unique all these dogs are.
I am looking forward to reading your new and future books.

I also caught your interview and found it riveting. Thanks so much for the work you do.

I have a pit bull mix from pre-Katrina Louisiana and she is a little angel. Shy little delicate flower.

Looking forward to getting your book. Best wishes in all you do.
