This will be on the savinglily.com site shortly: Contest to be officially posted on the savinglily.com website Tuesday June 5th, 2005.
Part of the reason why BSL went so far with our dog was because of the horrible pictures that were taken of her by by-law enforcement. We discredited those pictures, but our lawyers want to prove a point.
We're running a contest on our lawyers suggestion called "CAN YOU MAKE YOUR DOG LOOK LIKE A PIT BULL?"
This is exclusively for people who do not own pit bulls, there is a contest for pit bull owners below. How you do this is:
Stand about 2 feet in front of your dog (your dog should be facing you sitting down) so looking through the camera you see the dogs head a little bit of their body and their front legs. Snap the picture. Make sure you stay standing and if you have to, do what the by-law officer did to Lily and lean over so the angle is even worse. Wide angle lenses and fish-eye lenses do the trick too. Your dogs head should look HUGE if you've done it right, with a tiny tiny body and stubby legs and tiny feet. Then have your dog sit normally. Line yourself up with the dog's midpoint - center - so that there's no distortion at all and take a picture of your dog in the same pose. Send the picture to
sandra@savinglily.com - Subject: Pit Bull Contest - Make sure you tell Sandra what the breed of your dog is.
For the people who own verified pit bulls and verified pit bull mixes, your contest is: "FUN THINGS TO DO WITH YOUR PIT BULL"
We're looking for the cutest funniest pictures of pit bulls you can take. Pit bulls at the park in baby swings, pit bulls in baby carriages, pit bulls in drag, pit bulls with shades on.... the cuter and funnier the better. And sweet pictures - pits with kids, pits with kittens etc.. etc.. A little pit bull walking a big big dog... those kinds of things. Send the picture to
sandra@savinglily.com - Subject: Fun Pit Bull
