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.
