by Neal Wooten (Author) If any dog breed ever had the odds stacked against them, it's pit bulls. Pitties are very strong animals. They are used in sled-pulling competitions and, sadly, illegal dog-fighting operations. They are also great companions: beautiful, loving, and loyal. But this too creates problems as they are in high demand. Every time someone buys a pit puppy, they are aiding breeders and the puppy mill industry. That's where it begins. It ends with millions being euthanized every year and millions more living as strays. Hopefully, this book will help you remember three words: adopt, spay, neuter. This is the story of Mutt, who spends the first year of his life in a cage in a basement. Used as a bait dog, he is eventually cast away like garbage. Surviving and spending three years in the wild, he is often chased away and even shot. If life has taught him anything, it's that humans cannot be trusted. Despite all this, he still risks his life and his freedom to save the one man who shows him kindness. Once caught, he is scheduled to be euthanized. But a little nine-year-old girl manages to reach through his armor and touch his heart. Finally having a family and a home, Mutt's life becomes even more extraordinary.
