This is delightfully written, as was true of the pieces preceding it. You write as tho we're all present in a conversation. You include some amusing details which also put us on the scene with you, like the tattoo of Jesus embracing the pit bull with angel wings. HA! Loved seeing the pit bulls in Florida as conscientious objectors! Emily's illustration is delightful. You also leave us eager for the next installment.

I come to your stories about pit bulls as an innocent. I knew nothing about them and therefore had no prejudices. Even when I frolicked with joyous Lucy in order to photographer her, I thot she was just a dog. In your anecdotes about pit bulls, for my money, you manage both to educate and to entertain all at once. Thanks for that.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Cydney Cross. The picture of her and a pit bull that you posted is wonderful. Karen
