October 06, 2010 | 05:12 PM In titling this Pick, I looked at a few different Web sites and this was the best translation I could come up with for "Bulldog and the Beach." If any French-speaking readers would like to confirm or correct, "be my guest!" Speaking of which: "It is with deepest pride / and greatest pleasure that (they) welcome you (this Saturday) / And now (they) invite you to relax, let us pull up a (beach) chair as the (Friends with Pits Kennel Club of Maui) proudly presents, (their first annual Bullies at the Beach event)! / Be (their) guest! Be (their) guest! / Put (their community) service to the test / Tie (a collar) 'round your (dog's) neck, cherie / And (they'll) provide the rest.../ (They'll) prepare and serve with flair / A (canine) cabaret... / Be (their) guest. Be (their) guest" / Please, be (their) guest!" (Adapted from "Be Our Guest," Beauty and the Beast.) What? Bulldogs don't like Disney musicals? I beg to differ. As the live-in auntie of the sweetest little keawe-chewing, coconut-busting American Bulldog/Boxer belle (who I'm going to anthropomorphize to say she loves animated musicals), I've got a soft spot like an emerging cavity for the beautiful breeds of bullies. So do the the Friends of Pits Kennel Club on Maui, a new non-profit focused on strengthening "our community towards a positive awareness of the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Bully breeds." Partnering with the Maui Pit Bull Rescue no-kill shelter, they're hoping to raise a little dough to support the 47 dogs and counting under their care. To entice attendees: ono grinds, ABKC weight-pull competitions and live music. According to Laura Hungerford of the University of Nebraska, in an article for Newton BBS, "Dogs hear at a wider range of frequencies than humans... up to 45 kHz, while humans only hear sounds up to about 23 kHz," so your patronage of this event will be even more "music to the ears" of these Maui pups in need. 357-3567, 385-2469, friendswithpits@yahoo.com
