The hugely illuminating story of how a popular breed of dog became the most demonized and supposedly the most dangerous of dogs—and what role humans have played in the transformation. 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 Hollywood’s “Little Rascals”—come to be known as a brutal fighter? Her search for answers takes her from nineteenth-century New York City dogfighting pits—the cruelty of which drew the attention of the recently formed ASPCA—to early twentieth‑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 sometimes brutalized. Whether through love or fear, hatred or devotion, humans are bound to the history of the pit bull. With unfailing thoughtfulness, 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’ relationship with their dogs.

Carl Semencic's classic book about these unique dog breeds is finally back in print, with a new preface by the author. Whether you look upon dogfighting as a sport or as an exercise in pure barbarity, this book offers a wealth of valuable information. It covers the history of dogfighting in general and also provides in-depth studies of the individual fighting breeds. Fascinating and factual, it's also loaded with good photos, and it includes photos of some of the rarest dog breeds in the world. Individual breeds are covered thoroughly, with attention to their history and, where applicable, their standards of appearance and behavior. And although there is no attempt made to rank the various breeds according to their fighting abilities, interesting comparisons and contrasts of style are presented.
