I just checked the Books Being Scanned List and see that American Pit Bull
Terrier is being scanned; I'd guess by Shelley,who seems partial to dog books,
but but I'm not sure. If you'd like, I'll forward a note from you to her
asking her to let you knowehn she submits any dog books or to put a hold on one
for you. Let me see what other dog books I can find on the list; Here's another
one: Bichon Frise (I had to check amazon to learn what that it's a dog book;
here's another: Boston Terrier; therre are several other, both nonfiction and
fiction (Buff the Collie)
