Pit stops

A journalist and animal-welfare advocate exposes the brutal tragedies and prejudice inflicted upon pit bulls in this insightful book. Upon turning 40, Michelle Sathe bypassed a midlife crisis by embarking on a great American road tripaccompanied by Loren, a young rescued pit bull. The two set out to explore 29 states in 50 days for a whirlwind sampling of regional cuisine, historic landmarks, and just plain fun, including locations such as the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, New York City, and Savannah's scenic waterfront. But along the way, they come face to face with the sad reality facing beleaguered bully breeds in America's shelters and in places like Virginia, where Michael Vick ran a gruesome dog-fighting ring. Mile by mile, as the duo forge a stronger and stronger bond, the spotlight is also turned on the incredible humane workers, volunteers, and advocates across the country who work tirelessly to give bullies a second chance.
