The bond between Rick and Billy runs strong and true, but will it be enough to put an end to Keller's vicious cycle of abuse so Billy can live free. However, Billy is pursued by the savage Keller clan as well as animal control forces who cannot look beyond the stereotypes of Billy's breed to see the loving, loyal animal underneath. Billy is able to connect with those in need of comfort and help people in trouble.

With Rick, Billys world opens up to friendship and love. The pup escapes into the arms of another survivor, Rick Simpson, the man who finally gives him a name: Billy Bob.

One night it becomes too much, and the young dog runs away. An American Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the pup was bred to be a killer, trained in violence and fear by the brutal Leroy Big-Un Keller. He was the offspring of two champions in the bloody, sadistic world of dog-fighting. At just three months of age, he had seen more than anyone should ever have to see.
