Pit Bull Flower Power

Going to order more as this is a perfect book for dog lovers- don't have to be just fans of Pitties to see the love, agony, effort, care and perseverance that are the story of this gorgeous book. A simple conceit (making a feared breed into flower pups and ornamented pets) and a brilliant one- changing the unwarranted fear into curiosity, amusement and...love. The photos are stand-alone delights of colour, personality, droll toppers, narrative. Just look at those faces. Read those stories. Pits used to be THE family dog. They were so trusted with children that they were called "the nanny dog," and Helen Keller, the Little Rascals, and Teddy Roosevelt were all pit owners. This book will go a long way to reminding us that it is the training and not the breed that makes a dog who it is. You might just find yourself strolling through pet adoption pages with a new attitude...or may just decide to speak with that slobbery loaf of a pit that hangs out with its person at the coffee shop. Thank you, Sophie G, for such a wonderful book! C'est magnifique!

I purchased this to add to my collection of coffee table pictures books. I enjoy looking at nice pictures, but I was blown away that this is, really, not a picture book. Reading the stories tied to each dog, and reading about the evolution of Pit Bull Flower Power was just amazing. If you are having a bad day, read one of these inspiring stories. It will give you faith in humanity.

I bought this book after hearing about it on Instagram. It's a beautifully photographed and written book about a breed of dog that has been persecuted against for its boxy frame and misrepresented over and over again. These dogs are lovely, and have proven to be gentle giants that are loyal to their humans. These dogs are our legacy...we need to be kinder to those that have been misrepresented...whether they be dogs or humans. Choose to be KIND is the message of Sophia Gamand's book...spread the word far and wide. EXCELLENT book that you will leaf through again and again.

Such a beautiful and touching book. I have been an animal advocate for years and I was so thrilled to see a book of this caliber highlighting pits published.

Beautiful book!

This book has the most innovative and beautiful pictures of dogs. The story of Sophie Gamand trying and successfully saving these dogs and bringing attention to the way the world looks at certain dogs. Pictures are just fabulous! Love this book!

I wish more people would take the time to do this for these incredible souls. Lets clear out the shelters. I met her at one of her book signings and she is incredible. Thank you for all you do. There is def a special place in heaven for you. this book is worth the price. fabulous pictures and the paper quality was not skimped on. Perfect coffee table book!!!!

Been following Sophie on Instagram ever since we adopted our own pit-mix. Beautiful photography meets sad and then beautiful stories of the most misunderstood breed. Sophie does amazing work and truly has a passion to get these dogs to their forever homes! Worth the price!

Absolutely beautiful! Everyone who picks it up loves it. And I just got a new phone case from her too! Just love!🥰🥰

This book was a 21st present for my granddaughter - she is beautiful inside as well as out, but although she owns a German Shepherd and is completely in love with the breed, I wanted her to know and u understand the very misunderstood Pit Bull so she can learn and help carry the message3 to other misinformed people.....as soon as I can afford another of these books I shall get one for myself.

This was a gift for our Pit-loving daughter and Sadie, her pit. She loved it (don't know Sadie's response - probably envy😉)

I gave this as a gift to a friend and she just LOVED it! It's on her coffee table so friends can enjoy it too. I would highly recommend this book, very well done!

Such beautiful sweet pictures of these fantastic dogs. Really enjoyed this - classic.

Love this book, the photos are beautiful and yet bittersweet when you read each dog's story. This will go a long way to supporting change to the misconceptions about these amazing creatures.

This was a gift for my daughter who loves pit bulls and rescue pups. She absolutely LOVES the book!!

The book is beautiful and looks amazing on my coffee table. It is wonderful to see a positive side to a negative perception of Bully breeds. Thank you so much for your dedication to the breed.

This is a wonderful book about a very misunderstood breed. The pictures are so Richly done and so beautiful.

You can pour over Sophie Gamand's beautiful photos of pit bulls in flower crowns for hours and read their (mostly) heartwarming stories of the adoptions she facilitated with her amazing art. Warning though, not every ending is happy.

Thank you for the quick delivery. I absolutely love this book!

Got this for a coworker as a gift because we work at a shelter and she loves bully breed dogs, and she absolutely LOVED it. Would highly recommend for anyone who is aware of the stigma behind bully breeds and the work that Sophie has done.

I love pitties and these photographs show their magnificence and goofiness at the same time.

Christmas gift. She loves it

Love it for my coffee table. Photos are adorable too. I stack it with another book since it isn’t super thick.

Gorgeous pictures of beautiful pits with heartwarming backstories on many of the rescues.

Gorgeous photos of beautiful dogs wearing floral creations!

This is a wonderful book about a subject that is near and dear to my heart.

Bday gift and was extremely well received.

Wonderful Book!

This was a gift for my daughter. She loved it. Photos are beautiful!

Magnificent!!!! A fantastic gift.

AWESOME BOOK!

great photos, inspiring stories, exceptional.

Amazing

This is one of the sweetest, most lovely books I’ve ever received. My husband contributed to the Kickstarter that funded the book and surprised me with it for my birthday. Finally got the book yesterday, and omg, I am so incredibly moved. I am the proud mom of a rescue pit bull and have definitely dealt with the negative stigma that comes with owning one, but my girl is sweet as pie and, like the pits in this book, just needed to be given a chance. Buy this for every pit/dog/rescue lover out there! Such a special book. I’m not crying, you’re crying!!!

This book is absolutely gorgeous. It's a labor of love, written from the heart. And, the production and printing are excellent. The photos are beautiful and so dignified... often in stark contrast to the stories these dogs came from. They are challenging stories, but turned into redemption and love due to the dogs themselves and the talented and passionate Sophie Gamand. When friends come over, they pick this up and can't put it down, so there is more than one under my tree!

I have been waiting a long time for Sophie's book and it surely did not disappoint! This is a collection of her beautiful photographs throughout the years but the stories that go along with the photos make the book! The stories are very inspirational and bring the well-deserved positive attention to pit bull type dogs in shelters and the misconceptions they face in the minds of the public. Sophie is truly transforming the lives of this breed and her work is saving thousands of shelter dogs of ALL breeds throughout the world. I am truly thankful for her and her hard work. Thank you so much Sophie and keep up the amazing work!

There are not enough good and meaningful words to convey how special this book is. I have been following Sophie Gamand on instagram and watched the entire process of this project unfold. It offers a tender, true, honest portrayal of a breed that has been misunderstood and incorrectly stereotyped over the years. I cried through every page and felt so much gratitude for her taking the time, energy, and even flack for shining such a light on this beautiful breed. Worth every penny, and the quality is superb.

This book is for the serious animal lover and PitBull breed in particular! What Sophie has done in terms of rescue with her work is truly amazing. The book is high quality and the photos will take your breath away. I also ordered the photo of Frida and it's even more beautiful in person. Thank you Sophie Gammond for your extraordinary talent and for helping save so many Pit Bulls from what would surely have been a horrid life or worse.

This book is so beautiful. The perfect gift!!! The work this artist does is absolutely incredible and inspiring. This is a MUST HAVE perfect for a coffee table, great conversation starter. There’s nothing I love more than curling up after a long day with this book and laughing at these expressive precious angels. It brings so much joy to me and everyone who looks at it. I never get tired of looking at it. PLEASE! Do yourself a favor and buy this book for you and all your friends and family. Quality is amazing.

This is an absolutely beautiful book written by a beautiful soul. The pictures are breathtaking and each one has an incredible story to tell. Be prepared to feel raw emotions as you study each one. You will smile, you will cry, you will laugh, you will not want to put it down and you will not want it to ever end. You will also admire Sophie Gammand for getting this book published, against all odds. She is a remarkable photographer, author and voice for those who cannot speak (they can only bark!). Well done Sophie! I hope you never stop sharing your gifts with us!

This book is great for all dog lovers. It gets you right in the feels learning the stories of pitbulls who have gotten adopted and those who are still waiting for their forever home. It made me cry and appreciate my pets even more. This book is going to be a staple in my library.

Bravo to Sophie and the many people who made this book possible. The photos (and their models) are so sweet and the stories will move you to tears. If you don't think differently about pit bulls, you will after you read this book. I encourage everyone to support Sophie's cause and buy her new book - you will love it!

A stunning book by Sophie Gamand an artist and a pitbull and rescue advocate that I admire with all my heart. Thank you for not only capturing the beauty of pit bulls but, for trying to get shelter dogs the loving homes they deserve. With each photograph in your book, with each dog you help get adopted you are making a difference to the misleading negative stereotype that pit bulls have!

I bought this book for my mother's birthday and I've gotten rave reviews from my parents. They are recent pitbull fans and adore the stories and the pictures. My dad (who is usually fairly stoic) sent me a message: "Beautiful book. Makes you weep, make me smile, and even laugh. Overall a happy book!" Thank you Sophie for an amazing book.

If you love pitties, you'll love the pictures and stories contained in this book. Beautiful photography and heartwarming (some heartbreaking) stories of these special pups.

I am so in love with this book. I pre-ordered the book months ago, and was so excited when it finally arrived. The photography brings tears to my eyes, and the stories that go along with them all. If you’re a huge Pitbull lover like myself, you will love this book. It has become a staple piece in my living room.

I got this book as part of the original kickstarter campaign to get it off the ground. I received my book in November and wow, what a book. Absolutely amazing photography by Sophie and the stories behind each dog are so touching. Absolutely recommend this book to everyone. It really shows how "pit bull type" dogs are portrayed incorrectly and how amazing they actually are.

Sophie is such an amazing advocate for our Pitbull breed, and author. The book is so beautiful and well written, must buy

This is the best book I ever bought!!!! It is a great coffee table book. Sophie is an unbelievable photographer and an even greater person. I had the pleasure of meeting her at an event to promote this book and she was such an angel. This book allows people to see the goodness in pit bulls that most people overlook.

I sent this as a gift to my best friend who is a pit bull rescue enthusiast, she was ecstatic.

I got this for Christmas and I love love love it!

Love this book!! Beautiful photo's

Beautiful photographs! I have been following Sophie for a number of years. Her work is gorgeous and her mission SO admirable. Thank you for this!

This book is beautifully written and the the photos bring tears to my eyes after you read the stories of each individual dog.

This book is truly a gift!

It is a great book! Very beautiful photos!
