Book Preview: #1 I wanted to write a book about raising the perfect dog, and I wanted it to have a personal touch. I wanted to illustrate how raising puppies as naturally as possible will prevent problems and issues in the future.

#2 Pit bulls are not born aggressive, but they can be made that way by their owners. They are not wild animals, but they are not domesticated pets like any other domestic dog.

#3 The author’s dog, Daddy, was the best role model for his breed. He was a balanced dog who had wisdom beyond his years. He was the master of dog rehabilitation. The author wanted to raise another dog who would be as balanced and well behaved as Daddy was.

#4 I once brought my most balanced dog, Daddy, to meet with a friend who was about to retire and was looking for a new dog. I had noticed one of the puppies acting a little dominant around the children in the family, so I tried introducing him to Daddy. Daddy immediately growled at him and turned away.
