21st Century Pit Bull Dogs in Advertising

We always hear about the good old days, when pit bull dogs were used in mainstream marketing & advertising. Buster Brown? The RCA dog? We love the vintage ads from way back when!

But what about pit bull dogs today?

You may be surprised to learn how many mainstream companies in the 21st century use pit bull dogs to promote their products and services.

Let's continue to celebrate the glory days of pit bull dogs of yore. But let's ALSO celebrate the positive images of pit bull dogs today!

After all, there is plenty to cheer about!

Here are some examples I pulled from the past few years. Enjoy!
