Bronwen Dickey is the author of Pit Bull: The Battle Over An American Icon, a book that has received plenty of positive reviews and critical praise, and a little bit of controversy due to its subject matter.
Bronwen spent several years to research and to write this book, and during our conversation she shares some revealing insights into the nature of pit bulls and of people.

Karen Delise, whom we discuss briefly, is mentioned in more detail in Pit Bull: The Battle Over An American Icon. She was one of the first to attempt to gain a fuller understanding of dog bite related fatalities. Karen has written two books on the subject, Fatal Dog Attacks and The Pit Bull Placebo, and founded the National Canine Research Council.
