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.
