The Pit Bull Placebo
The Media, Myths and Politics of Canine Aggression
By: Karen Delise
Prod # 983
Paperback - 210 Pages
Based on 15 years of research and interviews, The Pit Bull Placebo book focuses on the perceptions of dog aggression, and the results that follow. This book explains how the media has created a reputation for Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Bloodhounds, Dobermans and other well-known dogs. Written by the same author of Fatal Dog Attacks: The Stories Beyond the Statistics, The Pitt Bull Placebo features common misconceptions about different breeds of dogs, and explains causes for different dog attacks.
