Which made her wonder: How had the breed—beloved by Teddy Roosevelt and Helen Keller—come to be known as a brutal fighter? Dickey’s search for answers takes her from nineteenth-century New York dogfighting pits to early twentieth‑century movie sets, from the battlefields of Gettysburg to struggling urban neighborhoods. In this illuminating story of how a popular breed became demonized--and what role humans have played in the transformation--Dickey offers us an insightful view of Americans' relationship with their dogs.","brand":"Bronwen Dickey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48438071656660,"sku":"9780345803115","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_d9dc340a-0c3b-448a-a7b0-3338868845b6.jpg?v=1786136242","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780345803115","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
