Beware of Dog : How Media Portrays the Aggressive Canine Paperback / softback
by Melissa Crawley
Part of the Dogs in Our World series
Paperback / softback
Description
For many of us, the only way we meet "dangerous" dogs is through news reports about vicious attacks, and films and TV shows that feature out-of-control versions of man's best friend.
But there's more to the Bad Dog's story than sensational headlines and movie beasts.
A deeper look at these representations reveals a villain much closer to home. This book takes the reader on a rich journey through depictions of violent dogs in popular media.
It explores how press accounts and screen stories transform canines into bloodthirsty hunters, rabies-infested strays, ferocious fighters, rogue law enforcement partners and diabolical pets, all adding up to a frightening picture of our usually beloved companions.
But, when media tells the dangerous dog's story, it is often with a deep connection to the person on the other end of the leash.
