Authorship
Dickey is a contributing editor at The Oxford American and the author of Pit Bull: The Battle over an American Icon.[3][4] Her book attempted to show that negative views about the breed have often been shaped by misunderstandings of pit bulls and their history.[5] This led to her unwittingly becoming a "heroine" for the pro-pit bull community and the target of threats and harassment from those who see her as an "apologist" for what they regard as a "vicious animal."[6]
She was a finalist for the 2017 National Magazine Award in feature writing[7] and won a Lowell Thomas Award in the category "Magazine Article on U.S./Canada Travel".[8]
Academia
Dickey is a Visiting Lecturer on Journalism and Public Policy in Duke University.[2]
