BAD RAP bares it all for pit bulls

I just love BAD RAP (Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls). These folks are passionate and yet realistic advocates for pit bulls, and they just won’t stop until people understand that these dogs are not ”born to kill.”
Not to mention: The BAD RAP folks have a wicked sense of humor. Case in point: Their 2008 calendar. With poster-dog pit bulls — and their tastefully naked owners.
Yup, naked.
From the ordering page:
If you’re a pit bull owner, no doubt you’ve become strangely accustomed to living under a microscope. We endure public scrutiny and condemnation for - of all things - enjoying a breed that’s been America’s sweetheart for over 150 years.
Our dogs are good teachers: They’ve taught us to strip down to the basics, ignore the naysayers and just…LIVE.
Celebrate the spirit of bold innocence with our BAD RAP Exposed 2008 Calendar, photographed on some of California’s most beautiful beaches. We’re proud to say that, freckles and all, pit bull owners have nothing to hide!
Ya gotta laugh. And ya oughtta order. Go.
Oh, the cover! The bare bum combined with that happy grin on the dog’s face brought me a welcome giggle. Thanks for passing the info along, Gina!

Great calendar for a great cause! I’m hoping we can put it on the wall of our kennel to counter some of the looks of dismay when we tell clients that APBTs are some of our best boarders.

My husand and I rescued a Pit Bull just about three months ago, and I have to say: They are WONDERFUL dogs! And it just makes me so sad that they are so misunderstood and abused. I want to know what I can do in the fight against having these loving dogs banned. If someone has any ideas or comments please let me know!
