Conception

The book was funded by raising money by Kickstarter it raised $55,000 to get a publishing run.[4][5] Because of the negative image of the pitbull, no mainstream book publisher would want to publish a children's book about pitbulls.[6] [7][8] The original target was $27,000.

Plot

The book is about Galunker, a misunderstood pitbull who seeks a home after a lifetime of dog fighting .[1]

Reception

The book has been seen controversial as it has been accused on making pitbulls seem harmless.[9][10][11][3] Barbara Kay being a notable example.[12][13]
