5.0 out of 5 starsAbout time
By Flyn Lindley on January 16, 2000
Format: Paperback
Ok, ok, Hearne can be annoying with the long philosophical musings. (She comes across as someone who's been made to feel small by academics and is putting on airs.) But, Honey, Vicki Hearne knows dogs.

Hearne has great, intuitive, gut-instinct about people and dogs. This gripping story. (Skip the "philosophy" which seems weirdly inserted into this fascinating story anyway.) Hearne has done the research. She understands and communicates the myriad elements of the pit bull and dangerous dog hysteria. You'll come to the end of _Bandit: Dossier of a Dangerous Dog_, a well informed citizen on the issue of blanket, breed specific, dog bans.

Your heart will be touched by old Bandit's story. You might not take your right to dog companionship quite so much for granted anymore. You may find (god forbid)you need this information in your own town. As for the reviews above mine... you have to understand (or admit) everybody is an expert when it comes to dogs. The backbiting in the dog world... well, it's no pun.

Update 9/18/06: Vicki Hearn died a couple of years ago at way too young an age. Dogs have one less advocate.

4.0 out of 5 starsI don't agree with the other reviews, so
By A Customer on September 17, 2000
Format: Hardcover
This book should be required reading for anyone interested in the problem of biting dogs. It is extremely well-written, researched, referenced, and very informative.
My one reservation is that the author advocates the use of choke-collar training. There is so much to be gained from modern psychology and operant conditioning when training an animal. Pain in animal training is totally obsolete.
But this one small quibble doesn't spoil an otherwise engaging and thought provoking read! Very few fiction or non-fiction dog books can hold a candle to this one in scholarship and quality of writing.You will need to read it at least twice to absorb all the subtleties.

By Rose Grey on July 27, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a really good book to help any interested person understand the bad reputation and trumped up misunderstandings surrounding the "pittie" breeds.
Writing is sometimes repetitive but I'm glad I stuck with it.
