Kissing for a Better Bully World...
So get this: Bonnie (pictured, left, with Hannie Annie, CGC, TDI, TT) came up with another great idea last year: A pit bull kissing booth. And in October, we had our first public kissing event, The Kiss-A-Bull kissing booth, in coordination with Sloppy Kisses (A Treat Boutique for Dogs in Saratoga Springs, NY). Our TDI-certified pit bulls kissed scores of people - lovers and skeptics alike. It was one of the most amazing "shows" we bullies have ever put on. I mean, look at this video...

And get this: At our most recent Kissing Bully Extravaganza, our Ambassadogs converted a total non-believer. A reluctant Kissing Booth visitor, a dog lover herself, was kissed for the first time by a pit bull. While she shares her life and home with two dogs (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Cairin Terrier), she had not yet understood or trusted the pit bull (despite my best efforts to educate based on the "facts"). As a realtor in a local inner-city neighborhood, she was certain that this breed was limited to lunging and barking at the end of a chain. Hmmmmm...

But then came a kiss from Grace, pit bull myth-buster extraordinaire. And, the outcome was enlightening. Our friend, the inner-city realtor, was a convert. Totally.

She even called the woman who cares for their dogs when they travel to see if she would board a pit bull. Is it possible that one bully kiss could lead this kind woman to consider opening her home to a pit bull?

Yeah, baby.

P.S. Change your life, too, at our next kissing booth on Valentine's Day!
