The story+
A pit bull shirt for the owner whose big, tough dog hides behind the armchair when the vacuum comes out: SCARY DOG. afraid of the vacuum. It is the dry answer to everyone who crosses the street, and a funny Christmas or birthday gift for the pit bull couple.
A broad grey pit bull peeks over the cushion of a patterned mid-century armchair with wide, worried eyes and its paws gripping the edge, while an upright vintage vacuum cleaner stands switched off on a round striped rug. Slate grey, mustard, rust, cream and dark brown give it a worn vintage storybook screen-print look, with a big cream SCARY DOG. above and AFRAID OF THE VACUUM. in mustard below, both as wide as the art.
Wear it on dog walks, at the dog park or on the couch; it is a funny dog tee that also works as an everyday graphic tee. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
- Does this pit bull shirt run true to size?
- The Scary Dog tee from Graphic Tees Co. is a classic unisex cut in sizes S through 4XL, so it fits a couple who share the couch and the dog. Order your usual size for a regular fit, or size up for a looser one. Your first size exchange is free within 30 days.
- Is the fabric light enough for everyday wear?
- Yes. It is a lightweight 4.2 oz/yd² tee made from 100% combed, ring-spun cotton, with a little polyester in the heather colors, so it wears easily on dog walks and errands. Graphic Tees Co. prints the dog, armchair and lettering on the front, with a cream headline and mustard second line that read on all six dark colors.
- How should I wash it so the print lasts?
- Turn the tee inside out, wash it cold with similar colors and tumble dry low or hang it up. Skip bleach and keep the iron off the print. Cared for this way, the Scary Dog artwork from Graphic Tees Co. stays crisp through every walk, wash and vacuum day.
- Is it a good gift for a pit bull owner?
- It is a fit for the pit bull couple or the rescue volunteer, from friends or family, for Christmas, a birthday or a gotcha day. The joke is the dog's big reputation against a very small vacuum. Graphic Tees Co. offers it in sizes S to 4XL in six dark colors.
- When should I order it to get it by Christmas?
- Order by about December 8 to have your Scary Dog tee before Christmas. Each shirt is printed the day you order it and ships free in the US on orders of $45 or more, with tees under that at a flat $4.95. Graphic Tees Co. also swaps the size once, free.
- How do I wash this graphic tee?
- Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.
