Hearne rescued Bandit and was soon entrenched in a legal battle that extended well beyond his case as she fought to prove that no dog is inherently vicious. She quickly discovered the factors that contributed to Bandit's behavior and set about releasing the essentially good dog that lay within.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Bandit is not only a dog story, but also a deeply eccentric lesson in justice, linguistics, racism and teleology.<br><br>Simply one of the most perceptive works about the social contracts between humans and animals ever written.<br><br>"Simply one of the most perceptive works about the social contracts between humans and animals ever written." -"Kirkus Reviews"<BR>""Bandit "is not only a dog story, but also a deeply eccentric lesson in justice, linguistics, racism and teleology." -"New York Times"<br><br>" Simply one of the most perceptive works about the social contracts between humans and animals ever written." - "Kirkus Reviews"<BR>" "Bandit "is not only a dog story, but also a deeply eccentric lesson in justice, linguistics, racism and teleology." - "New York Times"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Vicki Hearne</b> was an accomplished scholar of linguistics, literature, philosophy, and behavioral psychology as well as a poet.
