THE WORLD OF THE AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER

by Richard G. Stratton

There is no denying the fact that the American Pit Bull Terrier is perhaps the most gifted breed of dog that ever existed.  Capable of incredible physical and mental feats, the breed has nonetheless been reviled by those with an ax to grind and secondhand information.  In this third completely new book on the breed by Richard F. Stratton, the author gives firsthand information as one who has been a student of the breed for forty years.  In this bountifully illustrated volume, he strips away the overgrowth of misinformation and deliberate lies to reveal a dog with a sweet and loveable nature and a surprisingly steady disposition.  Although certainly not exotic in appearance, the breed is shown to be totally unique among dogs and most assuredly the most courageous.  Although different people see different things in him, the American Pit Bull Terrier affects all who know him in the same way: he causes them to exult in their hearts.
