Loyalty Unleashed: Pit Bulls and the People Who Love Them
Sue Torres is an animal advocate, rescue volunteer and proud owner of a previously abused pit bull who was slated to be destroyed for being tense and fearful in the shelter environment.  Once adopted and in a home, instead of an aggressive dog, what she discovered was an extremely frightened animal who came into his own when he was shown love and kindness. With some nurturing and training, he developed into the most loving dog she had ever owned.  Her experience moved her to champion pit bulls and attempt to dispel the negative connotations associated with the breed. Inspired by their resilience, devotion and ability to forgive, she now devotes herself to restoring the image of these once-esteemed and cherished family pets. She works tirelessly to promote the adoption of pit bulls in our nation's shelters and change perceptions about this extremely misunderstood and unjustly maligned breed. She lives in Connecticut with her rescued pit bull, Mickey and two other part-time step-dogs, a rescued Plott Hound and another rescued pit bull. Loyalty Unleashed is her first book.
