Wild Hearts
Hello from author Tom Frye. I would like to introduce young readers to a new 14-year-old author named Kody Connick. Recently, Kody met some folks who had a connection with the terrible sport of dog-fighting. Saddened by the cruelty shown to Pitbulls, Kody conducted research on the Internet and hammered out a story on his keyboard. I was so impressed by the chapters he sent me, that I saved them and before long I knew he had a book that would educate kids about the unfortunate plight of Pitbulls.
Wild Hearts is now being released this week here in Lincoln, but copies are available for libraries and schools across the nation, as well. The story is told through the eyes of a Pitbull named King and a juvenile delinquent named Charlie. Kody doesn’t know yet what he wants to do with his life, but he figures if he can change one person’s mind about the treatment of Pitbulls and the world of dog-fighting, he will have accomplished one of his goals.
Thanks,
Tom
Chapter One
There I stood in a puddle of blood, and through blurred vision I looked at the toughest opponent in my life.
My owner, Big J, shouted, “Go get him, Killer! Be the King you were meant to be tonight! Tear his heart out!”
The next thing I knew, I was head-butted by Shadow, then felt his sharp teeth graze my neck, then my shoulder, then slide down and clamp onto my left foreleg. I yelped it hurt so bad.
I was then fighting back, biting and chomping on Shadow’s neck. I got a good hold, too. I tasted blood. I tasted madness, and then I tasted sorrow as Vince used a prod stick on Shadow and forced him to back away into his corner of the ring. I then watched as some big man took the three-month-old pup Bandit by the scruff of his neck and toss him into Shadow’s corner.
Poor little Bandit didn’t stand a chance. Shadow lunged and clamped his massive jaws down hard on the pup’s neck and sent Bandit flying up and over his head.
The crowd went wild as Bandit spun head over paws, then landed in a crumpled, bloody heap in the middle of the ring.
Shadow was now prepared to take me out. His blood was up. His rage was red-hot, and he as came charging across the ring, I wondered if poor little Bandit was dead . . .
I’ll start from the beginning. My name is King. I’m a red-tip Pitbull, and my owner uses me to fight. Ever since I was a pup I fought. I even fought and killed my own brothers. In this environment, it’s win or die, and I fight to win.
Imagine this: You’re hungry, scared, and cold, walking around with 30 pounds of steel on your back. I knew when it was fight-time because Big J would starve me for days and make me fight puppies to get ready for the real challenge.
Did I want to fight?
No, but I had to.
Every fight-night, Big J would walk me into an arena to face another dog. There were people all around screaming. The smell of blood in the air. There were dark red stains of fallen dogs on the mat. The look in the others dog’s eyes was cold. The fights were quick. If you were lucky. Biting and slashing. Blood and fur flying in the air. And simply to entertain the crowd.
You had to be quick and strong to take the other dog down.
I was both, and on fight-night, I lunged up and bit the other dog’s neck, then I locked my jaws on him and swung my head around until there was no life left in the dog. Big J would walk over and pick me up by the scruff of my neck, and that’s when I knew the fight was over. I had won once again.
Big J would take me back to my kennel and drop a little food in my dish. He’d then say, “Look, you made me more money. I can’t believe a stupid mutt like you could bring in money! Glad I didn’t shoot you.”
I knew what he would do to me if I lost. He would take me out back and shoot me just like he did all the others who lost. I knew it wouldn’t be long before I lost.
Heck, I shouldn’t even be alive now, for when I was just a pup, Big J was going to use me for a “sparing” dog. He put me up against Rex, a big black Pitbull. Rex bit me once in the leg and once in the head. So I bit him back right in the neck, and that’s all it took to take down Rex. He left me two scars, one which looked like a lighting bolt down the calf of my back leg, and one on my head, which looked like a crown which is where I get the name King.
Big J had several other dogs. I never fought these dogs but I often talked to the older Doberman, Bullet. Bullet didn’t do so good in his last fight. He won but barely, and I knew Big J was going to shoot him soon.
One night, Bullet told me, “Never give up, no matter what, because soon you won’t have to fight anymore.”
I said, “There is no such thing as living without fighting.”
But Bullet said, “No, we were meant to live and run free no matter what breed of dog we are.”
That night, Bullet turned on Big J and bit him in the arm. That was the last time I ever saw Bullet. He was my only friend, and he was gone from my life just that quick.
Another day, I fought a red-tip Pitbull named Jade.
This fight, I didn’t know if I could go through with it, not because it was a girl, but because it was my daughter. When they brought us face to face what I saw before me wasn’t my daughter but a dog who was hooked up on the “juice” as Big J called it. It made normal calm dogs hyper and more aggressive. She lunged at me and bit my shoulder, and to my amazement she had no clue who I was.
I said, “Jade, do you know who I am?”
And she said, “Yeah, another opponent!”
If she saw it that way, so should I. I knew she was in pain so I grabbed her by the back of the neck and squeezed my jaws as hard as I could, and with the snap of her neck, my heart snap-ped, too.
Big J said, “You are a beast, killing your own daughter!”
The next couple of nights went by fast because watching Big J’s new dog Shadow was intriguing. I’ve never seen a dog so big and so fast. I knew if I were to fight him I would lose. Night after night, he killed dogs instantly, most of them had no clue what was going on.
One night I will never forget, is the night when Big J made Outlaw fight Shadow. This fight was the fastest fight I’ve ever seen and the most gruesome. Poor Outlaw, a German shepherd, was dead only two minutes in, and Shadow still bit and tore apart his lifeless body. I thought the sight of that couldn’t have brought anybody joy, but the monsters making us fight cheered and screamed.
While walking to the ring, I heard the low chilling voice of Shadow saying, “Go get him, Killer!”
Me a killer?
It was the painful truth, and I would show it in the match tonight. The match turned out like every other. We fought and I won. For the first time in my life, I looked at my reflection and saw what every body else saw: A bloody, scarred up beast.
For the next few days, I thought about what Bullet said, “We’re supposed to be free and we’re not meant to fight.”
What did he mean be free?

I would love to own a copy of this book, please tell me where I can purchase a copy. I own a pit, her name is Aleahya (her name means protector, although she is a gentle giant, she would only fight to save her family, she is not mean in the least) she is a big part of our family, a furry addition, but a very important one. I have had Aleahya since she was 6 weeks old. She is a blue/american mix. I once had a rednose pit named Oliver, which was just as spoiled as Aleahya is. However, Oliver was stolen and fought. I did get him back, but he just wasnt the same Oliver anymore, they had broke my dogs spirit, which in turn broke my heart.
Tom, I am a mother of 3 children, my oldest is in the 7th grade, and your story of writing a book and getting it published is an amazing one. You, my young friend, are an amazing person. I love how you went from selling drugs to selling books. You are a true inspiration to young people.
I just found out where to order my copy of the book and have placed my order, I so can not wait to recieve this book. My daughter hates to read, but loves pitbulls and is avid against dog fighting, Im hoping to read this book outloud to my children, so they can also be aware of animal abuse and neglect. Thank you Tom. May God Bless You!
Dear Dana,
By all means, do what you can to help promote this book, because going out to with a missionary’s zeal to prohibit this book will certainly boost sales. I can’t believe you would be so inclined to ruin a good thing when this kid is only trying to help. You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking of taking this project on. Kids have read my books pertaining to drug abuse since 1982, and I can’t tell you how many have turned away from drugs depsite the fact my main character is a chronic user and abuser. My message is always clear, “Only you can make a decision that will change your life.” And so it is with Kody’s book.
So, good sir, knock youself out with your mission. We do appreciate the stir you will cause. Sorry to be so unsympathetic but you have no business meddling in the affairs of a 14-year-old boy.
Thank you,
Tom
As a pit bul owner and advocate I commend the author of this book. I am in tears…and just from this first chapter. You have taken the horror of dog fighting and put it in terms a young person can understand. If this book changes the mind of one juvenile thinking about dog fighting then you have changed the world…at least for the sweet pit that he would use.
well Tom, you are a complete jackass. we will meddle all we want. not with a 14 year old, but the garbage hes writing. he’s 14, if he’s truly creative he can find another subject to concern himself with. im pretty sure hes got plenty of time.
It’s two words, “Pit Bull” or APBT
Here’s another two words for you, “Fact Check”
Hello Kody,
I want to thank you for being a voice that kids your age can identify with. I want you to know how impressed I am that you had the tenacity to start and finish a book. I have been writing a book for 25 years.
I also love my Pit Bulls. 2 of them Edgar and Tucker. My wife and I have extensive knowledge about rescueing, spay and neutering, loving and socializing our pitbulls. My wife is an animal control officer. She has more knowledge about dog fighting than I do. The truth is I know very little about the life my dogs lived before they came to me. Weather or not the people that are commenting here know the truth about dog fighting or are parroting what they hear is also beyond me. Know 2 things kody. Adults are wise for the most part. 2 and I quote Terry Goodkind author. “A person is smart, people are stupid.”
what you have here is a collection of opinions that are worth what ever effort in understanding you put in to them. If you find stock in what they are telling you. (like you need more facts. then go out and get them . if you find that some of the thoughts you have put to paper to be innacurate than ammened them.
Never stop writing. never stop loving your dog. He will never stop loving you.
I hope you have grat sucess. we will be naming our next rescue after you Kody.
Wow, that was the most disturbing and amazing thing I have ever read. I have been working in pit bull advocacy for several years, but I have never read something that gets so deep in to the true horror of the situation for the dogs. We need the young adults and teens at risk of getting involved in dog fighting to read this and if they have any grain of humanity, it might get them off the path. Will this book be in widespread distribution soon, like on Amazon?
Thank you Kody!

Atlanta Pit Bull Parents
Dana,
You state you are a breader. You are the problem. How much money have you made from selling dogs? You are no better than the people that fight them. Your greedy and stupid. I cant belive you even have the nerve to comment here. I rescue the dogs you sell. People like me are left to love and nurture what is left of them. You know I once witnessed a person surrender their Pit Bull becuase it turned out to be the wrong color as it grew older. You sell to people that have no idea what they are getting themselves into. but as long as you gfet paid right…..? Damn the dog. Its just a dog. I think you should volenteer at a shelter and see the pain you cause first hand.
This kid deserves a lot of credit for feeling so moved as to write a book about a tremendously difficult subject. With that in mind, this kid is 14 and is writing with fact as a background to his subjective material. This is how kids relate. So instead of attacking such a huge accomplishment from a 14 year old boy why don’t some of you “adults” take a step back and try to understand the feelings he put behind his writing. Any “ill-minded youth” OR ADULT can and will go steal a dog/breed the dog and use them for fighting if they want to. This book is NOT going to persuade someone to go and do the deed. For real people…have we not decided that media is subjective but not so influential that it will lead a good person to do bad things?! Maybe Kody should write a follow-up book about dog breeders and how breeding is only aiding in the deaths of innocent animals not being adopted from shelters…just saying.
Tom you are doing a wonderful thing by supporting this young man. Pass my kudo’s on to Kody if you will.
Tam
First off, I want to say how wonderful of a book this was. It hit VERY close to home, considering I own Two American Pit Bull Terriers & have went to school to train dogs. & have been doing agility since I was 12. Dogs are MY LIFE.
I think Kody did a great job opening the eyes of people who have NO IDEA what goes on in the world of dog fighting. It is a sad and horrific world for those dogs. So what you’re saying (the people who are against this book) is to keep quiet and act like it doesn’t happen? One of the problems is you, Dana… breeders like you. Bringing more dogs into this world to be taken up by this cruel sport. Do you do background checks and go to the home to make sure they aren’t being used as fighting dogs? Or do you just sell to anybody who throws money at you. There are PLENTY of Pits at shelters who are papered and were bought from a breeder just like you.
The answer is spreading the word of this disgusting “sport”. What did they do with all the Michael Vick dogs? We didn’t say “the world doesn’t need to see this” & kill them right away. Even though alot of people wanted that. We gave them a 2nd chance. And all but 2 of the 46 dogs that were seized were able to be REHABILITATED & FOUND NEW HOMES. Most at which have kids and or other animals. & Some are even therapy dogs.
It just disgusts me how rude you all are.
some parts of the book are misguiding the readers.. I agree. As in the part where it says Pit Bulls are also known as American Staffordshire Terriers. They are two different breeds. But nowadays BREEDERS are breeding so many different dogs together that the Pit Bull isn’t what it used to be. & did you know that when the Pit Bull was first bred there were more dogs being used as family and farm dogs than actual fighting? & that the first war dog was a Pit Bull named Stubby.
In the book it says that Kody, early in his life met some folks who had a connection with Pit Bulls and the terrible sport known as dog fighting. It made him sad, It made him angry. And it made him angry enough to do something about it, so he wrote the book. So as for you all saying that this is going to want to make kids fight dogs and get into the sport. Think again. It changed Kody’s life, and look we he did. He wrote a book about it, to hopefully help and change other people’s views on the breed. As he said, if he can change one person’s view of the treatment of Pit Bulls then he has accomplished something.
What the hell world are we living in? Everybody must think so negative. Don’t judge a book until you read it.
I completely agree with Aaron Beard!! you pitbull breaders on here are horrible. This boy is trying to open the eyes on young children to see that pitbulls are just like your typical teen that is misjudged. and if you think this is something bad to have in a library i sure hope you dont let your children ever go outside becuase they will see sooooo much worse in their very own schools, park etc.
Get a life.
Way to go KODY!! You have done a great job and as a pitbul owner/ pitbull rescuer you are doing a great deed! people you need to stop hiding from reality!!!!!!! reality is there are dog fights if we dont get everyone to see how bad it is then how could we possibly correct the problem??
all you people make me sick putting down a 14 year old for doing something he is passionate about.
AGAIN KODY YOUR MY HERO!!!
I thank you all for commenting on this site. I am surprised at the passion all of you have for these dogs. Kody and I are for real in our efforts, and we went out to the local Animal Shelter and adopted, Jade, a Pitbull/Lab mix, who appears on the back cover of the Wild Hearts book.
Despite such negative remarks by well-meaning folks, we will continue to print and sell this book. One Pitbull chat Forum member summed it up best by saying he would save his comments when he’s read more of the book. For God’s sake, we only put one chapter on here, and look at the controversy to come out of that. I thank you supporters for your kind words, and I thank you lovers of dogs for speaking up for them, however, I think you are pole-vaulting over mouse turds with some of your reactions. Time will tell how well this book does, but so far we have sales in 7 different states, a TV News station doing a story on it, and the possibilty of a movie deal. So sorry to disappoint those who are so concerned, but we all do what we can for these dogs. So give it a rest, and let’s see where this goes, okay?
Tom
You “breeders” are jerks! Kody is a great person! He goes to my school and he’s just trying to open your eyes!! And those who say “I don’t want my kids to read such graphic book” get over it!! How stupid are you? They’re not 4 I think they can handle it! They’re going to have to get used to it! You’re bein horrible people. And Dana sto being bitchy and mean to a 14 year old. He’s doing a good hung so just shut up n oone wants to hear you talk!
Thank you, GameDog.. the hate only adds fuel to the fire.
To each their own.
I’m not here to argue. Just here to congratulate Kody on a book I enjoyed reading. From beginning to end.
Did reading what Kody wrote horrify me? Yes, but only because I can imagine that was the kind of sick, despicable life our Pit Bull lived before he escaped and found us.
We have two Pit Bulls now and I work with a local pit bull rescue shelter. I am angered and enraged at what the majority of these types of dogs go through on a daily basis. It is heartbreaking.
Teenagers these days are so self absorbed and for this young man to be able to see past his struggles and connect with what these dogs suffer through is tremendous. He is putting a face on this horrible crime and I think he should be applauded.
Will some people “feed” on what is written? Maybe. But others will be able to see the nature of what goes on in cities across America to these dogs that don’t have a chance. I hope this book opens the eyes of those who either don’t know or refuse to see the abuse that is so prevalent in our society.
-Sara
Wow…..some people are truly crazy! Lets Burn Books! Lets Protest Books! Lets Ban Breeds! Lets Ban Pit Bulls! Hm such a slippery slope!
The book is a book. I believe that I am correct to assume(which I hate to do) that this is a non-fiction book? So if we must ban a book can we go get the ones out of our school libraries detailing the making of bombs? Don’t believe me go have a look!
We are a free society based on Government protection of our rights run by the people and for the people. If this young man wants to wright a book about this then either buy it and enjoy it or don’t buy it and shut the hell up!
We have the right to voice our oppinions to anyone at anytime in anyplace, however to threaten to protest and picket schools, book stores and libraries is utterly rediculous! Please check yuourself into the world of reality and logical thinking ASAP please!
I wonder why I never shot anyone growing up since I was an avid hunter starting at age 4, a coon hound breeder at age 5, and a dog show handler at age 7, shot my first gun at age 4, carried my own shotgun bird hunting at age 9, was very well educated on firearms by a DNR program at age 12, and loved to read war books, books on weapons, and even use to read about the correct way to process your own fresh game in the scouts starting at age 7. And I am sure not every single teacher I had was the end all be all expert in the field of the topic at hand. And yah I never shot, killed, blew up, mamed, robbed, or threatened to do so even though death and killing was a major part of my existance from the age of 4!
So I wonder if reading this book could possibly peak the interest of a young man or woman and lead them on a life long path in a direction towards caring for, and rescuing animals! Because thats what I do now after working a 60 hour work week. My wife and I and our 3 kids foster for a rescue and have saved many a dogs life including pit bulls.
P.S. Yes I was a breeder, yes we made a lot of money, yes we did it for the money, yes I stopped, yes I was re-educated on breeding, yes anyone who tells you they keep 85% of the dogs they breed is full of crap! And anyone who says breeding costs you money is a very uneducated human being and is a pot talking to a black kettle. Otherwise there would be ZERO puppy mills in this country. Oh and yah PetLand would not be the largest retailer of dogs in the US. So Please educate yourself before critisizing an up and coming young man with a wonderful drive and focus!
Kody please help my 13 year old son remember to close doors, pick up his mess, and not argue with his Mom! Much less write a book and worry about a bunch or old hags!
Peace, Love, Pit Bull Kisses, and Shut The Hell Up!
My wife and I have two loving pit bulls, one that was used as a “bait dog” in fight training. The bait dogs are the ones that don’t want to fight. The trainer will tie a pillow case over their head and let the other dogs “learn” how to fight with them. It sickens me to imagine what he endured.
I don’t understand how so many people claim that this chapter is glorifying pit bull fighting! Its a fictional account from an ignored point of view – the dog’s. Yes, it details the horror that takes place but I think the heart of where the story is headed is in this line…
“But Bullet said, ‘No, we were meant to live and run free no matter what breed of dog we are.’”
Thanks for sharing your story Kody
I think it’s awesome that a 14 year old boy to be able to write something like this, just the frst chapter of it brought tears to my eyes.
But I do have something to say more to the people trying to discourage the publishing of this book. If you are merely judging this book by the first chapter here then you guys are no better than the people who are fighting these dogs, or for that matter, you’re even as bad as the media spreading the so called “pit bull” maulings. You’re literally judging a book by it’s cover and that’s exactly what this world is doing to the dog itself.
Personally, I have not yet read the book, I’d love to, but I honetly can’t ay it’s a good or bad book, but what I can say is that it definately needs to have a chance. Who knows this book really could open some eyes, then again it may also shut them. That’s something we won’t know until the book gets into more people’s hands.
And trust me, something like this coming from a child who really isn’t that great in school is amazing. The last thing he needs is nasty comments about how his book is going to increase fighting. If he took the chance to write the book he probaly had that in the back of his mind and apparently he was wiling to take that chance,
Dana, as a matter of fact I have over 14 years with this breed. I would NEVER breed any dog and adopt my dogs as rescues. Yes I have seen these “thugs” you speak of and no these idiots didn’t use a book as a guide, instead they used each other and figured out a way to conduct these fights. I turn these ignorant people in when I can, as should anyone who has “known of them”.
You may choose to be one of those people who feel a book is to blame (which then I wonder why you do not boycott the Anarchists Cookbook seeing as this is truly a guide to building bombs and so forth), but I choose to support a young man who has effectively expressed himself as a way to call attention to the horrible acts of dog fighting.
Thanks for you interest in my background. Have a good day and good luck with your endeavors.
i think people here need to read Jaynas post, you know, the AC officer? let it soak in a bit. thank you Jayna, my hats off to you for speaking the truth and trying to educate the sheeple who believe everything they read.
To all of you ripping apart Wild Hearts written by a 14 year old puts you into a league of you own. Not a league I would even consider signing up for!
Tell me what did all of you accomplish at the age of 14? Cat got your tounge?
It seems as though it’s so easy for some of you to assume the worst from a book. Will a 14 year old actually change our world by writing a story? If so please give me a piece of paper and a pen.
I commend such a young man for being able to write a book and then sit back and watch some of you condemn his accomplishment.
Give Kody credit, did anyone actually say all the facts were true? Its a book, get over it. I mysel will sleep sound again tonight just as I have every night since Wild Hearts was published.
Think about it was Humpty Dumpty really an egg? Does Captain Underpants really exsist? Did you protest any of this SHAME SHAME SHAME some people never change!
So I for one hope that Kody will hold his head high, be proud of himself and realize you can’t please everyone.
Hats off to you Kody keep up the good work and best of luck in the future.
P.S. Maybe some of you should have channeled your energy into purchashing a book instead of giving our youth no reason to strive, stand on their own two feet, believe in themselves, reach for the stars and respect freedom of speech!!!
Congratulations Kody a book well done!
P.S. the writing really isn’t good. The facts are not even close. the terms are all confused. Oh wait…we all keep ignoring the fact that this is a fictional tale! Its not suppose to be a biography, auto biography, a manual, or a testimonial! Its a story! Its a story to try and show a perspective of a dog! Maybe the dog calls a broom handle a prod stick. Maybe a dog thinks a 2 year old is a puppy? Maybe this is 100% accurate from the dogs point of view? Ever think of that? You not so smart smart people. Use your energy to go investigate and expose a real dog fighting ring and then you can come back and tell Kody he is full of shit! Maybe! This kid is so beyond you all in intelligence and forethought! If he keeps one kid from doing this he HAS accomplished something! If some thug retard billy bastard reads this and tries to emulate it there would have been another book, story, movie, or friend he talked to that would have resulted in the same thing! You can not ban, or stop, one single book from being sold, read, or published or you become no better then Hitler! This kid does not have to be accurate. A free market will ultimately judge this book and determine its success. All you idiots are doing is spreading the word and making it more likely to boom! Seriously applaud him for making an effort! Even the ACO above probably won’t have as big of an impact on the lives of Pit Bulls, positively or negatively. Hell she has probably helped destroy more Pit Bulls then this book could ever have in ten lifetimes!
I read this first chapter and then read some of the comments…..
As for those of you disagreeing about what he has posted out of this first paragraph I see nothing wrong. What I sadly see is the truth on dog fighting. You should watch the video done by Bobby Brown called “Off the Chain”, yes these horrific things happen, hell I have seen one hooked up to a car battery charger and killed that way, and no it did not die on their first attempt. With this movie you will also see a dumpster full of dogs that “lost” the fight.
Puppies are used for baiting just as other small breeds of dogs are used. Yes they get prodded and poked with sticks, shovels, brooms, even cattle prods.
I see nothing at all wrong with this first chapter, and I think Kody is doing a great job, and I cannot wait until I can buy a copy of this book. As for the person who said something about their kids reading it…. there are so many other books in print that you need to worry about, hell I would imagine you need to be more worried about what your kids are texting more than you need to worry about then reading this book, great parent with great parenting skills would not object to their kids reading this and would probably read it also and have a family conversation about it.
Kody, will this book be available through amazon?
And I want to say, great job kid, I wish I could get my 14 year old involved in such an idea…………… hats off to ya!
It is so funny to see “old tymer” and “dog man” who can’t even string two sentences together, yet feel the need to come on here to bash a 14yr. old’s STORY. As others pointed out, it is not a documentary, it’s a STORY (aka FICTIONAL WORK).
Get a life, “old tymer” and those who think they did a good thing by throwing two dogs into a pit “the right way”.
As far as I am concerned…oh, and wait a minute, law enforcement…is concerned…there IS no right way to fight dogs!
Go reminisce about your sick glory days (or is it GORY DAYS) elsewhere, your dog fighting forums would seem a natural place to do so.
Ok, we have a 14 year old kid here who witnessed a dog fight that would tear my 40 year old heart apart. He writes a book of fiction from what he imagines the dog’s perspective would be and all you people can comment on is how dog fighting isn’t really like that? That this will encourage others to emulate the training methods for their pit bulls? Game Dog even calls dog fighting is a sportThis book affected me to my core being. In my opinion it may help to open the eyes of people who don’t know the true heart and soul of a pit bull terrier. I have an 18 month old spayed female who is the most sensitive loving dog I have ever owned and I have had many breeds of dog. She has never been hit in her life and though protective of herself around bigger dogs she doesn’t know (smaller ones she licks when they bite her) she will take abuse from the neihborhood poodles and other dogs she does know without recourse. You’ll need God’s help if you plan on hurting my puppy. Fighting dogs is one of the lowest and cruelest form of human behavior. Maybe this young man’s book can let us see it from a dog’s perspective. This kind of crap is still happening people. To Kody; Keep feeling for dogs in your heart young man and thank you for trying to make a difference.
Pit Bull Advocate and Lover of Pitties
Oh yeah I almost forgot, how many of these people who subject these wonderful dogs to this type of cruelty would volenteer to jump in the same pit with Dan Henderson, Anderson Silva, Quinton Jackson or Chuck Liddel? No worries though we’ll pump them up with go juice to get their blood boiling, file their teeth razor sharp and throw out all the rules. What? No takers? Didn’t think so. People who fight dogs are cowards. People who watch are pathetic excuses for human beings.
Oh kody. I wish I could know you. You are one brave young man. You inspire me to follow through with my plan to create a rescue to rehabilatate the bulley breeds that are going to be euthanized at or local shelters. Some of which call themselves No-Kill. We will give them their 2nd chance with love training and socializing. Keep at it young man you will go far.
