Pictures of the cutie-pie dogs would have been enough.
The Unexpected Pit Bull's 2015 calendar is not only replete with the most adorable of canine mugs, it's also full of amazing pet rescue stories sure to warm hearts and help dispel prejudices against pit bulls.
Which is the point of the project.
"The vision for The Unexpected Pit Bull calendar is to boldly and unexpectedly showcase true stories of adopted and rescued pit bull dogs who share their lives with loving families," says Hanna Fushihara, who helps run the nonprofit.
The group raises money for animal welfare and rescue -- and also works to dislodge harmful stereotypes.
"We hope that we reveal to the world the beauty, comedy, exuberance and friendship of pit bulls," Fushihara says.
Fushihara is urging folks to hang the calendars not just inside their homes, where they'll be seen by those who are already part of the ever-growing community of pit bull fans, but also in offices, shops and other locations, where the images and heartfelt stories might actually surprise others.
"Some segments of the population mistakenly believe pit bulls or any dog that may look like a pit bull to them to be dangerous," she says.
"But to those of us who have had the pleasure and honor to have known and loved a pit bull dog, the loving relationships we feature are all totally expected."
Order The Unexpected Pit Bull's 2015 calendar, available for $18.99.
I think having pit bulls on a calendar is a great idea. In fact, I've put one together that maybe they'll put on their website and then can sell along with theirs.... maybe 1 for $18.99 / 2 for $29.99?
Here are just two of the twelve great calendar pages you'll get:
