This book is the culmination of seven years of research that took me across fifteen states, during which I interviewed more than 350 people, including pet owners, dog breeders, dog trainers, animal control officers, animal rescuers, conformation judges, shelter workers, cruelty investigators, animal advocates, law enforcement officers, and dog bite victims, as well as experts in veterinary medicine, animal behavior, canine genetics, constitutional and criminal law, public policy, risk analysis, and public health epidemiology. I also attended multiple conformation shows, animal welfare conferences, law enforcement training seminars, and community outreach events and read many thousands of pages of scientific journal articles, legal depositions, police and coroners reports, and archival materials that spanned more than 250 years.
