Galunker
Galunker is a pit bull. He looks really mean,
but is about as threatening as a marshmallow.
The dog catcher is determined to capture Galunker, and bad guys want to make him fight. But Galunker just wants a home!
While Galunker is above all an entertaining story along the lines of Dr. Seuss, with beautiful illustrations, it is also an effort to address the “aggressive breed” bias towards dogs like German Shepherds, Dobermans, and most recently, pit bulls.
Galunker is first and foremost a children’s book, with a heartwarming story about a friendship between 3 underdogs. But it also includes at the end an essay aimed towards parents to help further educate with science instead of superstition, to help make an informed decision about whether or not to introduce ANY breed of dog into the family home.
The publishing of Galunker's first edition was made possible thanks to the generous pledges and support of its many Kickstarter backers.

Dangerous propaganda. Pit bulls were bred for bloodsports and never meant to be pets. Hundreds of children have been brutally mauled to death and/or life changing disfigurement. Highly irresponsible for this author and illustrator to trick children into thinking they are safe. It hard to believe someone published such diabolical drivel. What's next? Venomous snakes, misunderstood pets? Swimming with great white sharks for open minded toddlers? This book would be hilarious if the consequences were not so deadly. Parents, protect your children and choose wisely

I waited two years for this Kickstarter book to come out, and I was not disappointed. I am delighted by the message in this book, the fun rhymes, the cute illustrations, and the follow up information in the back. I will be happy to share this book with others and to read it again :)
