Pit Bulls & Pit Bull Type Dogs (The Photo Book Projects, Volume 3)

2014 Independent Publisher Book Award winner and 2014 Benjamin Franklin Book Award winner. This book will tug at your heartstrings. Melissa McDaniel's book, filled with personality-packed photographs and heartwarming stories, depicts the remarkable tales of courageous dogs who have been to hell and back. These are the puppy-mill survivors. Rescued from living as unnamed breeder dogs existing in filth and pain in isolated cages, they made the (sometimes difficult) transition into their new lives as much-loved family pets. They were given a second chance at life. The cuddly, fluffy puppies you see in the window of your local pet store or on the Internet, are nothing but a facade, one that masks the harsh reality of the source of those puppies: the American puppy-mill industry. McDaniel's book pulls back the curtain to expose the harsh underworld of the commercial dog-breeding industry. There, mill owners keep dogs in crates only 6 inches longer than the dog in each direction, with a wire floor, stacked on top of another cage, for their entire lives. The dogs receive no affection and get inadequate, if any, exercise or veterinary care. Although these are conditions that most people would consider inhumane, they are often completely legal. In most cases, the standards that breeders are required to meet by law are minimal. Putting an end to puppy mills is simple. Don't buy a dog from a pet store or off the Internet. This stops the demand. If you stop the demand, the mill owners will be unable to make money. If they can t make money, they will close the mills. The fourth book in the award-winning photo book project series, Puppy-Mill Survivors is undoubtedly the project's most important book to date. It is a must-have book for any dog lover or animal-rights supporter.
