HJR 97 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Second Sunday in September recognized as Louis Vuitton the Pit Bull Day

This resolution designates the second Sunday in September as "Louis Vuitton the Pit Bull Day" in Alabama. It honors Louis Vuitton, a pit bull who survived severe animal cruelty in 2007, endured 33 surgeries, and became a symbol of resilience before passing in 2018. The resolution encourages all Alabama residents to observe the day by supporting animal shelters and advocating for humane treatment of animals. It is a symbolic gesture with no binding legal requirements, solely intended to raise awareness about animal cruelty prevention.
