Bully

Are you game? For owners of dogs classified as bully breeds, it's a loaded
question, one that conjures up scenes of aggression: canines "pitted" against
one another. A complex reputation -and history- precedes Staffordshire bull
terriers, Amstaffs, bulldogs, and American pit bull terriers. But did you know
that the bully breeds are responsible for less than 1% of all dog bites on
humans? Facts aside, these affectionate dogs are widely misunderstood, and pit
bull devotees are game for a change in public perception of the breed. Bully
is an anthology of art, advice, interviews, and anecdotes; a celebration of
the pit bull and the people they love. Designed and illustrated by a network
of cutting-edge artists, Bully gets to the heart of this oft-maligned breed
and the cultures that surround it. Packed with interviews from top breeders,
pit bull rescue operation organizers, and the masterminds behind rapper DMX's
dog clothing line Boomer 129, Bully explores the evolution of the breed,
offers practical and personal insights into a world that need not be
intimidating, and smashes stereotypes with facts and style. From the streets
to the suburbs, a scrapbook of pit bull love.
