* * * Calling all responsible pit bull owners, advocates and fanciers...
Please mark Saturday, October 25, 2008 on your calendars for the SECOND ANNUAL nationwide Pit Bull Awareness Day.
Last year's first ever Pit Bull Awareness Day was an incredible success as people all across the country united to educate, raise awareness, and promote a positive pit bull image. This year's events can be even better!
Bless the Bullys has teamed up with ROVERlution in a colaberative effort to not only raise awareness to the plight of the All-American Pit Bull Terrier, but to also make a united stand against breed specific legislation. October 25, 2008 will go down as a day that pit bull advocates all over the country joined forces in support of an incredible cause!
Whether you plan an event of your own or participate in a Luv-a-Bully march, please join us on October 25, 2008.
Its not too late! There is still plenty of time to plan an event and promote a positive pit bull image in your community! Please visit

PIT BULL AWARENESS DAY 2008
What is the meaning of Pit Bull Awareness Day...? The Bless the Bullys' motto of education, awareness and advocacy pretty much sums it up.
In light of the constant negative publicity and sensationalized hype that surrounds pit bulls, Pit Bull Awareness Day was established as a day to focus on these incredible dogs and their devoted, responsible owners. As breed advocates, it is our duty to (1) educate the public on the true nature and temperament of the ALL AMERICAN Pit Bull Terrier; (2) to raise the awareness of the general public with respect to media bias and the greatly skewd "statistics" and information on bull breeds and (3) promote and encourage responsible ownershi p.
The simple fact is, we cannot win the battle against BSL until we make strides against the epidemic of irresponsible ownership and the stereotype that plagues the breed. Until that time, our dogs will continue to be the targets of fear, hate and discrimination.
Although many of us advocate everyday to change the undeserved image of our dogs, Pit Bull Awareness Day is the time to collectively make our voices heard. After all, we are the ONLY voices are dogs have, and to raise that voice in unison across the country can have positive results for us all.
Never underestimate the power of a few committed individuals to change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
~ Margaret Mead ~
