Bandit: The Heart-Warming True Story of One Dog's Rescue from Death Row

Description

Employing a unique combination of psychology, philosophy, sociology, and dog training theory, Vicki Hearne recounts her experiences with Bandit, a dog deemed so dangerous that the state of Connecticut condemned him to death. Hearne rescued Bandit and was soon entrenched in a legal battle that extended well beyond his case as she fought to prove that no dog is inherently vicious. She quickly discovered the factors that contributed to Bandit's behavior and set about releasing the essentially "good dog" that lay within.

Vicki Hearne was an animal trainer for more than twenty-five years. The author of the widely praised Animal Happiness, she received a 1992 award for outstanding literary achievement from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
