The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption

I don't doubt it's a beautiful story. I just couldnt read past the horrible tragic reality of the lives of dogs forced to fight. It makes me sick to my stomach and I want to murder people who could do that to any animal But Especially THE PIT BULL! THE most gentle,people oriented, comedians of the dog world. This breed is so eager to please and just wants to be loved so to read stories about how they get tortured and killed just really pisses me off. I love pit bulls and know almost all are redeemable even after being fighting dogs. I've seen it with my own eyes. I've rescued pit bulls ,fostered pit bulls,lived with 12 in the last 20 years and never knew a vicious one. Even after being abused they still are so trusting of people. I recommend anyone suffering from social anxiety or depression adopt a pit bull,they work better than any anti depression medicine I've ever known..Better then any other breed hands down.

It is very easy to get emotional about this subject matter. I am a retired Kindergarten teacher, and have become a volunteer dog walker at our local Humane Society, where we do see many pit bulls. This has helped me to understand, appreciate and love these amazing pups. We have our own "little army" of dog walkers who stand strong with our pit bulls, as well as all other pups that come our way. Thank you Mr. Gorant for telling this story in a manner we can all understand, in spite of how awful it was for these pups. This book will serve as an educational tool so together we can all be more understanding and compassionate when interacting with dogs. Each pup is an individual, and deserves the chance to have a healthy, loving environment. Together with an educated society, I will remain hopeful this is possible. 💜🐶

This book was written as if I was actually there experiencing the horrific life these dogs went through. It kept my interest throughout and I didn't want to put it down. The author very skillfully told the story of the trauma the dogs endured and the lengths the rescuers went to rehabilatate them. I loved this book but absolutely hate the depravity that dog fighting represents.
