| Publisher Description: D'Angelo, a young pit bull, was neglected, starved, and left for dead. He was able to survive this horrific abuse because of his kindness, strength and will to live. Follow D'Angelo's rags-to-riches story--from his rescue by the New York Bully Crew to the wonderful life he lives today. He is now happy and healthy in his "furever" home, along with three "fursisters" and the rest of his loving family. Inspired by gratitude, D'Angelo and his family seek to reverse common negative stereotypes of the pit bull breed by training him to become a Therapy Touch dog and sharing their story. They hope to make a difference, giving other pit bulls a chance to experience a beautiful transformation like D'Angelo's. All proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit animal welfare and rescue. |
