Pit Bull Blanket with a Bold Graffiti Portrait of a Happy Pup

Pit Bull Blanket shows a grinning dog painted in bright blues, yellows and pinks, with its tongue hanging out like it has just spotted its favorite person. There are no printed words, so the charm is in the expression. It suits anyone who thinks their pit bull is the happiest, goofiest dog on the block.

The print at a glance

The dog fills the center of the throw, its broad head outlined in deep navy and turned slightly toward you. Its eyes are golden and calm, while its nose is a glossy blue patch set against a cream muzzle. The tongue is a soft pink curl that gives the face its cheerful grin. Behind the dog, the background explodes with graffiti-style shapes: yellow stars, orange triangles, green swirls and splashes of pink paint. The lines look hand-sprayed rather than neat, which gives the whole piece a lively, street-art feel. The style sits somewhere between pop art and urban mural painting, with thick outlines and flat, vivid color. It reads as a tribute to pit bulls who are famously affectionate and expressive, and it celebrates that personality without any gloss.

Who it is for

The first people to notice this throw are usually pit bull owners, who will recognize the broad head and the wide, friendly grin right away. Dog lovers in general will enjoy the mix of portrait and street art. You might bring it out on a rainy afternoon when you are sharing the couch with your pup, or drape it over the back of a chair while friends stop by. It also works in a home where art matters, because the bold colors can anchor a neutral room.

Occasions to use it

This pit bull blanket makes a thoughtful gift for a dog owner, especially for a housewarming, a birthday or a thank-you for a dog sitter. It fits well in a living room, a den or a reading nook where a pop of color is welcome. It is available in a Fleece Throw Blanket, a Sherpa Throw Blanket, a Fleece Blanket and a Sherpa Blanket, so you can choose the feel that suits your space.
