Resumen del Editor

From one of the most respected figures in the dog-rescue community come the harrowing, funny, and inspiring stories of nine incredible dogs that shaped her life.

Tia Torres, beloved underdog advocate and star of Animal Planet's hit show Pit Bulls & Parolees, chronicles her roller-coaster life in this heartwarming memoir featuring some of her best-loved dogs. With inimitable honesty and characteristic brashness, Tia captures the spirit and heart of these intelligent and loving canines, while carrying us behind the scenes of her TV show, into the heart of post-Katrina New Orleans, onto the soundstages of Hollywood films, and even to the jungles of Sri Lanka.

Tia has devoted her life to shattering the stereotype that pit bulls are dangerous, vicious predators. As the top dog at the Villalobos Rescue Center in New Orleans, the largest pit bull rescue in the US, she and her team have rescued, rehabilitated, and re-homed hundreds of animals that might otherwise have been destroyed. As she puts it, most of the stories in this audiobook are about animals (and a few humans) that needed someone to believe in them and a purpose in order to show their true nobility.

Each dog Tia writes about here has overcome abuse, trauma, neglect, or just bad luck to become a stalwart, loving companion to Tia and her family. You'll meet Duke, whose intelligence and matinee-idol looks made him a star in movies and music videos; Junkyard Joe, whose single-minded passion for tennis balls was channeled into expertise as a drug-sniffing dog; Bluie, the unswerving protector of Tia's daughter Tania; and a host of other unforgettable canines.

My Life Among the Underdogs is above all a love story, one that is sure to grip the heart of anyone who has ever owned or been owned by a dog.

loved every chapter, was sad when it was over

Tia Torres is an amazing woman. she inspires me to want to do more for animals and proves anything is possible when you put your mind to something. Her family is incredible along with theit spouses and dogs. I cried in every chapter of this book sometimes more than once! I laughed and reminisced on parts that I remembered from watching the show. this is a must read

My Life Among Underdogs

God bless you Tia tores, I was so grabbed by your book that I could not sleep. I am so interested in adopting. I have a pitbull already and she is a true testament of this breed of dog. I would love to follow in your shoes, honestly I don't know if anyone can.

Love this book

I love the show pit bulls and parolees and when I saw that she was writing a book as soon as I could I preordered it. Very interesting and I am so glad the author is reading this book. Since I use to her voice it didn’t disturb me. It felt like she was just talking to me

Great

I enjoyed learning more about Tia and her family. I love their show and it was interesting to hear how it got started. I love animals and hate it that people are out there abusing them. I think Tia did a great job with this book.If you enjoy the show, you will love this book!

A book for dog lovers!

I adored listening to this book. I'm so grateful for Tia voicing herself reading her own memoir. The stories of the dogs, the stories of her children, and the stories of herself were insightful, meaningful, traumatic, hilarious, and made me cry and laugh and turn. I look forward to listening to this audiobook for years to come.
