Billy's World by Bill Stauss


Is love enough to rehabilitate an abused “Pit Bull” Terrier? The pup was only three months old. Bred to be a fighter, he had been trained in violence and fear to be a killer. One terrible night it becomes too much and the young dog runs away.

The pup escapes into the arms of Rick Simpson, another survivor, who gives him a name: Billy Bob. The dog is from champion stock and his owners are searching for him.

The bond between Rick and Billy grows stronger, but will it be enough to defeat the forces trying to recover the pup? Will Billy be able to overcome the negative stereotype of his breed so others will see the loving, loyal animal underneath? The book answers those questions.
