THE WORKING PIT BULL

by Diane Jessup

Overcoming the prejudice of the American Kennel Club, biased and degrading media coverage, and attacks by the U.S. legal system, the Pit Bull still ranks among the most popular and most loved purebreds in the world.  Author and Animal Control Officer Diane Jessup effortlessly proves that the Pit Bull is not purely a fighting dog but rather the most versatile, intelligent and athletic dog of all breeds.  In over 300 fantastic photographs in full color, you have evidence that the pit bull excels in countless arenas: obedience trials, police forces, search and rescue squads, weight pulls, therapy work, Hollywood movies, and even dog shows.

Although many books have been devoted to the fighting history of the breed, The Working Pit Bull focuses on the entire spectrum of the breed's skills, giving this remarkable dog its due as a legitimate purebred, a goodwill ambassador, and a devoted companion-a true Superdog!
