    I know why you're here. You've probably seen some of the influencers online bragging about how they've made millions flipping NFTs, and now they have 30 Lambos! They live in an oceanside mansion and have a private butler who picks out all of the brown m&ms from the packet before serving them. You want to live like that, right? NFTs are your ticket to millions. They have to be! Because you've already tried everything else! Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you should probably not start shopping for Lambos just yet...The truth is that a lot of those projects fail. Just hop on Twitter or discord now, and you'll see them literally begging people to buy or raise the price of their NFTs.It's because they failed to have a plan and like some brilliant person whose name I don't recall right now used to say. "If you fail to plan, you are planning the fail" The brilliant person was Benjamin Franklin btw. Thanks, Google.Lucky for you, that you somehow stumbled upon our little book. So we're going to give you a plan! We're not guaranteeing Lambos just yet; that comes in the final chapter. Just kidding, this is not financial advice, etc., do your own research We've laid this book out in easy to understand format with six different sections. Well, it's technically six after the legal stuff(please don't sue me, bro) and prologue where we introduce ourselves and give you "The Ultimate NFT Glossary" sorry, it's long but trust me, you'll need it before you embark on your journey! So, after that stuff above, you get to the six sections or phases as we like to call them. I would type them all here, but I don't want to spoil the adventure or the table of contents, for that matter! Thanks for even coming to our sales page and for even considering buying our book! The last thing, if you do get a Lambo from following our advice, you're going to have to let me put my kid's car seat in it and take it for a spin! 
    See you on the inside!

    From one of the most respected figures in the dog rescue community come the harrowing, funny, and inspiring stories of nine incredible dogs that shaped her life. 
     
     
    Tia Torres, beloved underdog advocate and star of Animal Planets hit show Pit Bulls & Parolees, chronicles her roller-coaster life in this heartwarming memoir featuring some of her best-loved dogs. With inimitable honesty and characteristic brashness, Tia captures the spirit and heart of these intelligent and loving canines, while carrying us behind the scenes of her TV show, into the heart of post-Katrina New Orleans, onto the soundstages of Hollywood films, and even to the jungles of Sri Lanka. 
     
    Tia has devoted her life to shattering the stereotype that Pit Bulls are dangerous, vicious predators. As the top dog at the Villalobos Rescue Center in New Orleans, the largest Pit Bull rescue in the United States, she and her team have rescued, rehabilitated, and re-homed hundreds of animals that might otherwise have been destroyed. As she puts it, Most of the stories in this book are about animals (and a few humans) that needed someone to believe in them and a purpose in order to show their true nobility. 
     
    Each dog Tia writes about here has overcome abuse, trauma, neglect, or just bad luck to become a stalwart, loving companion to Tia and her family. You'll meet Duke, whose intelligence and matinee-idol looks made him a star in movies and music videos; Junkyard Joe, whose singleminded passion for tennis balls was channeled into expertise as a drug-sniffing dog; Bluie, the unswerving protector of Tia's daughter Tania; and a host of other unforgettable canines. 
     
    My Life Among the Underdogs is above all a love story one that is sure to grip the heart of anyone who has ever owned or been owned by a dog.
