This is a great video about work that is being done in Chicago to encourage young men in the inner city to take pride in their pit bull type dogs for reasons other than their fighting ability. Hat tip to Mac's Gang at Barking Mad for pointing to this. I'm going to post it here too (sorry Mac), just because I think it's really important for a lot of people to see this.
The video features Tio Hardiman, who was a guest speaker at last year's Canine Legislation Conference that we held here in Kansas City. He's running a great program in Chicago and it's great to see some of the video of what's going on up there.
On another note, we're also starting another session of "Pit Bull University" here soon -- I'll post the details once we get this all worked out. PBU is our Kansas City version of helping high risk dog owners (we welcome all breeds) with basic obedience training.
