AL HJR97

Recognizes the second Sunday of September as "Louis Vuitton the Pit Bull Day" in Alabama to honor a pit bull from Montgomery who survived severe animal cruelty in September 2007

Louis Vuitton endured beatings and life-threatening burns, underwent 33 surgeries, and became a national symbol of resilience before passing in 2018

The prosecution of Louis Vuitton's abuser resulted in a 9.5-year sentence, the longest for animal cruelty in Alabama at the time and the first felony case tried under "Gucci's Law"

Encourages Alabama residents to observe the day by supporting local animal shelters and advocating for humane treatment of animals

Passed the House on February 12, 2026 and adopted by the Senate on February 19, 2026
