Last Saturday, October 18, 2014, I attended my first CT Pit bull Awareness Day. I did not know what to expect. What I experienced was more than I could have imagined.
It was described as follows:
An event to celebrate the bully breeds! Connecting Pit Bull Advocates, Responsible Owners, and Animal Lovers!
National Pit Bull Awareness Day was started by Jodi Preis of Bless the Bully's in Tennessee. Jodi has dedicated her life to rescue and education of all bully breeds. This special day was put together in an effort to raise awareness to the plight of the bully breeds and to make a united stand against breed specific legislation. Pit bull advocates from all over the country have joined forces in support of this noble cause to educate, raise awareness and promote a positive pit bull image.
Responsible pit bull owners are encouraged to bring their pet-friendly pit bull or bully breed to the CT Pit Bull Awareness Day to show the skeptics how wonderful the breeds are.
The event was all it was advertised to be and more, with food, vendors, rescues, speakers, contests, prizes and, of course, dogs! To fully appreciate the experience you really did have to be there so, rather than try to describe it in words, I will instead attempt to show the mood the day in pictures. Enjoy!
