National Pit Bull Awareness Day is coming up on October 25, 2008. In short its a day dedicated to rebuilding the public perception of pit bulls as dogs and as pets. We’ll be teaming up with Ring Dog to have some events at the store, all very hush-hush right now but it will include dog ice cream, photo taking, educating and fun.
