I ordered 3 copies 2 as gifts for my nieces and one for myself, this is a very well written children of all ages book and the illustrations are phanomenal! Best of all the main character “Demo” an American Pit bull terrier. A breed that gets such a bad rap projected in such a positive light. ABSOLUTELY wonderful book!!

Demo touched my heart. Not only is it well-written, but it has a beautiful message. I so love this book and I look forward to enjoying it for many years to come and sharing it with my nieces and nephews.

I adore this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is classic but with a present day spin. It is easy for kids and adults to follow.

But the bigger story is the one that will truly touch adults to the core. I had chills the first time that I read this book because even though it is obviously fictional, it is so true to the experiences faced by a lot of pit bulls on the street now…except they don’t have the opportunity to prove what exceptional animals they are like Demo did. Most of the dogs you find in real life are vilified for the actions of humans and don’t get a chance to find a home. Instead they are euthanized at the shelter simply because of their breed.

If people would simply take the time to learn about these dogs that they want to extinct, they would find out that all these monsters really are just dogs. Just dogs that want the same love and affection that your own pooch at home wants. Just dogs that need food, shelter, and training like your pooch at home. Just dogs that are scared and confused as to why everyone seems to hate them. Just dogs but so much more.

I loved this book, too! Thanks for the positive review. Pit bulls need all the positive press they can get in these trying times. We appreciate you!
