My Life Among the Underdogs by Tia Torres Book Summary

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 United States, she and her team have rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed hundreds of animals that might otherwise have been destroyed. As she puts it, "Most of the stories in this book 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 loved a dog.

Great read. Disappointed there are no pics of the doggies. šŸ˜”

Canā€™t wait!!. Even just listening to the intro and how T writes she truly was born to do it. Iā€™m not much of a reader but Iā€™m already so excited to read this book!! ā™„ļøšŸ¶ I already know I wonā€™t regret purchasing this book even if I donā€™t care for it (I donā€™t foresee that being true) just to support someone with a heart like T. In many ways she reminds me of my biological mother especially for the love of this breed. *LeeAnn*

Heart Touching Memoir. As I read this book, which was hard to put down, I could hear Tia's voice as I read every word in every chapter. It brought me to tears, made me laugh and I can actually see the butt wiggle and tail wag. To all that you care for and all those that are looking down from doggie heaven, we thank you with every fiber of our beings!

Amazing story. As I read your book i was glad i had seen the show cause as I read the book I could hear tias voice in my head as if she was reading it to me. The book is so well written that I laughed and cried with tia and her family all the through the book. I think animal lovers and even some none animal lovers will really enjoy this book

My life amongst the underdogs. Great read! Tia is a pit bull in her own right. Strength, courage and full of love that knows no boundaries!

Canā€™t wait. My birthday is January 16 so excited to get my birthday gift!! I volunteer for a few different dog rescues and I get the pit bulls as it just happens like that and I wouldnā€™t have it any other way. !!

Real stories, Heartfelt and Raw. Loved the book, hope Tia will share more with us in the future. A must read.

Inspiring. Tia Torres has a gift for distilling the truth she wants to convey in the story of each dogā€™s life she shares in her book. The honesty with which she relates each story just makes the book that much more riveting. Would that we humans have a little more of that ability to live in the moment and just a fraction more forgiveness and this world would be a different place. May we all ā€œsurvive the bad stuff long enough to find our true purposeā€.

Notes from a fellow underdawg!!. This book has surpassed my wildest expectations and touched my life in ways I never dreamed.. as a animal lover myself I enjoyed reading every bit of it and I'm hoping for a sequel... Thanks Tia and all of you... I began to see pieces of myself in the story and I'm currently working to make my comeback real soon... Best Wishes, luck and love, your fellow Underdawg! Karen C. Willis West Blocton, (survivor of the Tuscaloosa Tornado) Alabama

Excited. So excited
