What if someone special came into your life, someone who could see you, and all of your camouflaged faults, with utter transparency? What if that someone had four furry legs, a damp nudging nose, and deep longing eyes? What changes would you be willing to make?

For nearly all of his adult life, Louis Spirito was a raging bull, a fiery writer from a 'Goodfellas' family who exploded at the slightest provocation. Then he rescued Tanner, an abused, timid, shelter pit bull that cowered at strange objects, flinched at sudden noises, and vomited whenever he was stressed – which was most of the time. Man and dog were polar opposites and for them to live together, one of them would have to change. Their journey wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t always pretty but this award- winning story will tug at your heartstrings.

I finished reading Gimme Shelter in one evening, waited a week and read it again. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss a thing. I truly enjoyed the author's writing style and his refreshing honesty. Plus you don't have to be and dog fancier to enjoy the book, though I am. It is fascinating, compelling and just plain grabs your attention on several levels. There is the author Lou Spirto who, with the support of his incredible wife and the trust of Tanner his rescue Pit Bull, faces his own past...his own demons. This guy has the guts to make some fundamental changes in his life. Each chapter begins with a flashback to his past, starting with his childhood and fast forwards as the book progresses. Some things I could personally relate to and found them painful to read. But they are an important window into the man and his life.
Then there is the touching account of dogs from his years as a first rate dog lover right up to the wonderful moment Lou and his wife adopt Tanner the Pit Bull who has his own past...his own fears. The narrative of building of their lives together....helping each other, sometimes unknowingly, really hits home. To know this family is to admire them. Yes, I laughed and cried as others have said, and the story awakened some deep emotions within. Gimme Shelter was written with an openness, sensitivity and humor that took me be surprise. It drew me in and it was an honor to feel like a part of Mr. Spirto's family. What a great story!....Love, hope and a happy ending! And what about good dog Tanner?......This handsome boy is going to help change minds about Pit Bulls. Another "Throw away" life saved and making a difference. This book gets an "All Paws Up" from our house.Pick up a copy and see what we mean!

Let me begin by admitting two things: I live up the street from the author Lou Spirito, and I've never even owned a dog. These two facts may disqualify me from giving an unbiased/useful review of this book.

But I will say this: Lou is a heck of a writer. In this smorgasbord-style book he provides many insights into dog psychology and dog care while telling a very detailed story of his developing relationship with his adopted pit bull Tanner.

My wife and I consider Lou and his delightful wife Eugenie to be more than neighbors. We're friends who get together for dinner occasionally. We see them often walking Tanner in our condo complex, and we're always impressed by Tanner's good manners and grooming. What we didn't realize before reading this book is that there is a vast network of dog-dog relationships in our little community. Lou describes these almost as if he's talking about people: which dog is boss, which are friends, and which can't stand each other. This is stuff I've never even noticed, and I enjoyed Lou's analyses, replete with wherefores and whys.

I'm probably in the minority, though, when I say that I found the most intriguing parts of the book to be the glimmers of his personal history that he teases into the beginnings of many of the chapters. In his descriptions of life growing up in a mob-connected family in New Jersey, Lou hints at the roots of his anger issues. If he gets around to writing the full story, I'm sure it'll be a page-turner.

If you're a serious canine aficionado, I'd say this book should be on your summer reading list. And if you're into the human backstory, you should join me in urging Lou to write that one next.

Gimme Shelter is one of the more uplifting, pleasurable books I’ve read in a long while. I adored the charismatic, quintessentially Italian- American voice of the narrator as he shared his personal battle with a habitual, knee-jerk reaction of explosive anger, until he took it upon himself to get a handle on his “issues” all for the love of a dog. With swagger and bravado so chock-full of character as to be laugh-out loud funny, author Louis Spirito takes us from the tough-guy streets of New York City to Malibu, California, where he rescues a nervous Pit Bill named Tanner from a local shelter, who, it turns out, is the reason the author decides to improve himself. Realizing it is more than his episodic bursts of fury wreaking havoc in his marriage to the artistic Eugenie, it is his energy that must be addressed if he is to live harmoniously with wife and dog. A local group meets weekly in Malibu’s Serra Retreat to study spiritual psychology as outlined in A Course in Miracles, and Louis Spirito’s attempts at self-correction begin. Gimme Shelter is a first-person tale of exhilarating, page-turning merit for all who love a good story, and more so for those of us touched by their relationship with the family dog. All praise to author Louis Spirito. I absolutely loved this book!

I am a total dog lover so I looked forward to reading this book. It was good. I especially
was glad that it showed pit bulls in a positive light. They are very sweet dogs unless they have been trained to be mean. I am also happy that the author was able to get a handle on his anger issues. However, he stops in parts of the book to recite facts, and that was distracting, which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5.

While each of us may be searching for some catalyst for change in our lives, sometimes this motive presents itself within a very unlikely circumstance, event, or form. In Gimme Shelter, author Lou Spirito, after decades of 'status quo' behavior that he is not proud of, finds himself looking deeply into the eyes of a caged, fearful and fragile shelter dog (whose breed and 'reputation' did not meet the criteria he and his wife, Eugenie, were looking for). Despite the nature of this unlikely match, Lou cannot shake the image of this soulful, seemingly despondent, yet playful creature...and it is not long before he realizes without question that Tanner the Pit Bull MUST come home with him. From this point on, through his relationship with Tanner, Lou becomes painfully aware of the impact of his 'bad behavior' on others, and change becomes imminent. Through the unconditional love of this mysterious rescue dog (who, at the same time has his own wounds to heal), Lou is able to confront the demons of his past and therefore alter the path of his future, possessing renewed meaning, joy and respect for himself, and for life as a whole. Sprito writes with such heart, candor, and razor-sharp wit, that Gimme Shelter is not easy to put down! Well done, Lou...I look forward to the sequel.
