Studs Who Might Know Pugs: Prepare yourself for a Friday full of handsome.

This week, I stumbled across the HSUS' End Dogfighting program in Chicago. It's a combination grassroots campaign and training program that brings ex-dogfighters and trainers into urban areas and offers free classes (like agility classes) to pit bull owners of all ages to teach them how to properly interact with their dogs.

I LOVE IT.

But there's even a brighter spot in it. While the program's an awesome, awesome thing, their website has something very special on it: Studs.

And not just Studs, but Studs from Chicago. Seriously, they don't get much better than that.

A shockingly talented photographer named Saverio Truglia took some gorgeous pictures of the trainers, advocates, and students.

Below are some of the pictures (I could stare at these all day). There's more here.



You may thank me later.
