Partying with the Pit Bull Boss

Portland Pet Expo was a Pit Bull Party!

Pit Bull

The coolest thing about the 2012 Portland (Oregon) Pet Expo was the number of pit bulls in attendance. Every other dog was pit.  I think that had a lot to do with Shorty Rossi, the star of the Animal Planet show, "Pit Boss."  (Click here for more information about "Pit Boss.")

Washington Owners of Flying Disc Dogs

Shorty has a book out entitled, "Four Feet Tall and Rising."  He's also the founder of Shorty's Pit Bull Rescue, a non profit that Rossi created in 2001.  (Click here to visit Shorty's Pit Bull Rescue.)

Shorty's famous dog, Hercules.

He's also a really nice guy.  At the pet expo Shorty was ready to sign autographs, have his picture taken, answer questions and interact with all the expo-goers who were interested.  

In honor of Shorty, please enjoy some of the awesome photos of pit bulls.

As I was researching Shorty, I             found that he works with Linda Blair's shelter and rescue organization, Linda Blair World Heart Foundation.  (Click here for more information on Linda Blair's animal rescue.)  

Peace and love and puppies.
