They say our breeds are bullies But that is just not true We kiss We hug We cuddle We love to love on you! From the Back Cover “Research estimates that only 1 in 600 pitbulls born will be placed in their forever home. With being the most popularly bred dog in the U.S, pitbulls make up a large percentage of our shelters. My purpose behind writing this book is to help break the harsh stereotype that is placed on these kind animals. I want to help spread the word to families with or without kids looking to adopt, to take into consideration that pitbulls make wonderful companions and protectors. I hope my story sheds light on how amazing it’s been watching our little girl grow up with her two pitbulls, Roxy & Tucker. Life is good when you love-a-bull. “
