Ken may be familiar to you as the author of the memoir, “The Dogs Who Found Me,” and the collection, “Dogs I have Met.” His latest book, “I’m a Good Dog: Pit Bulls, America’s Most Beautiful (and Misunderstood) Pet,” is a gorgeously illustrated and tenderly written tribute to one of the most misunderstood of canine companions. His work has appeared in Bark, Salon, McSweeney’s, The New York Times, Village Voice and Time Out New York. In 2008, he founded The Sula Foundation, which promotes responsible Pit Bull ownership.
