Funny has spent many hours teaching kids about responsible dog ownership through her associations with the Washington Animal Foundation (now known at the American Canine Foundation)

Here Cynthia McCammon, Funny and I address a group of elementry school children.

Funny is teaching a youngster the proper way to
approach a dog.

Now we demonstrate the "splat" or, "what happens when you let your dog off the leash and a big truck comes by?"  This trick never ceases to illicit great amounts of applause from  audiences.

Funny's favorite part is the pettings she receives and the faces she cleans after the show.

Funny has a repertoire of tricks that overflow from her magic black hat.  Splat and "bang" (the old classic in which she falls over dead) are sometimes performed more than one hundred times a day. Soon, all a kid has to do is aim a finger at her and she readily "dies" - and stays there. 

Here we are entertaining the crowd at the "Little Puyallup!"

Even out camping in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Funny never fails to attract and win the hearts of children.

Sweet as honey?  Maybe not, but she sure does make some interesting friends.

Dalmatians?  NOT! 

Perhaps Funny's greatest claim to fame in
the area of public relations, is her meeting
and sharing with Becky Simmons.  Becky's family had encountered a horrible tragedy involving pit bull type dogs.  Funny convinced Becky that the American Pit Bull Terrier is a good and honest breed.  You can read Becky's story in Jillian Cline's book  American Pit Bull Terrier..... A Closer Look

Funny has traveled all over the United States sharing her love and kisses while speaking the truth for the American Pit Bull Terrier.  Here Funny is exhibiting her fearlessness as she stands on a concrete wall high above the cliffs in Glacier National Park, Montana.
