520    "From one of the most respected figures in the dog rescue 
       community come the harrowing, funny, and inspiring stories
       of nine incredible dogs that shaped her life. Tia Torres, 
       beloved underdog advocate and star of Animal Planet's hit 
       show Pit Bulls & Parolees, chronicles her roller-coaster 
       life in this heartwarming memoir featuring some of her 
       best-loved dogs. With inimitable honesty and 
       characteristic brashness, Tia captures the spirit and 
       heart of these intelligent and loving canines, while 
       carrying us behind the scenes of her TV show, into the 
       heart of post-Katrina New Orleans, onto the soundstages of
       Hollywood films, and even to the jungles of Sri Lanka. Tia
       has devoted her life to shattering the stereotype that pit
       bulls are dangerous, vicious predators. As the top dog at 
       the Villalobos Rescue Center in New Orleans, the largest 
       pit bull rescue in the United States, she and her team 
       have rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed hundreds of 
       animals that might otherwise have been destroyed. As she 
       puts it, 'Most of the stories in this book are about 
       animals (and a few humans) that needed someone to believe 
       in them and a purpose in order to show their true 
       nobility.'"--Amazon.com summary.
