More Pit Bull News

My favorite quote from this article is, "Generalizations and preconceptions are as unhelpful and counterproductive for pit bulls as they are for people." For me, this says it all. How can you say all Pit Bulls are bad or inherently violent? Without picking on any particular group, it's the same as believing in stereotypes about people.

In any case, I'm very excited for Jim Gorant's book (The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption) and will be picking up a copy of it for myself.
