As you've perhaps guessed, this isn't just any guy who loves his dogs. Ken Foster -- yes, that's his real name -- is one of the most prominent advocates for pit bulls in America: he's the bestselling author of
I'm a Good Dog -- a book intended as an antidote to the poisonous bigotry bent on rendering this dog extinct.
And it is bigotry, I assure you. It rests on lousy science, distorted anecdotes, and pure hatred. I'll go into this in further articles, but I'll refer you for the moment to words by Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer: "Going Pit Bull: How We Can End Prejudice." This quotation sums it up nicely:
"It's hard to blame people for being afraid of pit bulls, when all they see on the news are stories about dog fighting rings and people being attacked.
They usually leave out that it's the owner who made the dog violent, not the breed." (my emphasis)
