Diane Jessup

Really well written, though emotionally difficult to get through.

This is an amazing, touching story about a pit bull named Damien. Pit bulls are one of the most misunderstood dog breeds, and this book goes to show that pit bulls are just like any other dog that needs love and caring for by the right person. Damien was a feral dog that was captured by a university professor and is now the subject of some pretty gruesome experiments. A medical student starts volunteering at the university shelter and discovers Damien and wants to help him, despite protests show more from her father and grandfather who are both doctors and believe in doing these experiments to further the knowledge of medicine. The girl and Damien become very close and go through all sorts of danger to stay together. This is one of the best books I've ever read, very highly recommended. show less
