During the process of writing the book, we learned of The Big Black Dog Syndrome, which is a phenomenon that is rampant in our shelters. Large, and dark colored breeds of dogs are not being adopted, and consequently being put down, or facing life in a cage. Our goal is that you will fall in love with Bandit, our Big Black Dog, and consider rescuing and adopting a Big Black Dog from a shelter. Bandit also talks in each chapter. Midway through, you'll see a black pawprint, and in a different font, Bandit gives his version of the chapter's events. It's easy reading, and fun to share with children, or just to enjoy by yourself. Each chapter is self-contained, and if you happen to put the book down, and down get back to it for a few weeks, you won't lose the gist of the story! Bandit truly is a wonderdog, and we hope you'll fall in love with him! Proceeds from book sales will help fund Bandit's foundation, which will rescue, adopt, train dogs, and pair them with veterans with PTSD. Bandit is currently in training for Therapy Service, and will be a big help to his owner, who is a Vietnam Veteran diagnosed with PTSD.
