Once again, the fine folks in Kansas City got together to celebrate National Pit Bull Awareness Day -- and our Roverlution Event. It is a great opportunity for us to get together with others just to share the great story about how great of dogs "pit bulls' are -- once you remove all of the media hysteria from the equation.
This is an event that is held in over 90 cities across the country.
The event drummed up quite a bit of national and local positive press for the bullies -- which is yet another great reason to host the events. And they're fun. Below are some photos from our event as well as some coverage of events from across the country:
Miami-Dade County/Broward County, FL
A note from Bless the Bullys -- who is the starter of the Pit Bull Awareness Day event -- I'm sure Jodi will be posting more pictures as the week progresses, so check back with them.
And here is a video from our Kansas City Event. The following pics are from our event also.
Quite a few dogs were in Costume. Including this "boxer".
Some of you may recognize this dashing-looking pirate -- this is Boomer. Boomer was rescued from a hoarding situation in Northern Oklahoma last December.

OMG I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN PIT BULL HEAVEN. All those heads to moosh and squish.
Glad the events went well!

Brent, will you please settle this: Boomer WAS a pirate, wasn't he? My son firmly maintains he was a Ninja. We have been disagreeing ever since Sat!

The video with the Over the Rainbow Song for the KC Roverlution/Bully Awareness Day is PRICELESS!!

Yes Becky -- Boomer was a pirate. Not a Ninja. And yes KCK, The KC Video is priceless, and yes Rinalia, there were lots of sloppy kisses to be had :)

Yep. It's frustrating how many law makers just seem to make it up when it comes to this issue. :/
It's bad in Australia, too, right now for pit bull type dogs and their owners. I'm circulating a petition to appeal for reason down under, where even an RSPCA head has condemned 'pit bulls':

Thanks so much,
