Message from the petition author, R. Brace and the ASPCA online community:
I have just spoken with Steve Schwartzman, Executive Coordinator, who told me that the offensive ad has been pulled in all markets.
Thank you to all who signed this petition and made the calls! Mr. Schwartzman was very understanding of our feelings, and admitted that they have received quite a bit of heat over this commercial. Each and every one of you made the difference.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Renee Brace and the ASPCA Online Community

Its sad that this ad had to be pulled. It was an advertisement showing the bullie bread being used as guard dogs, which they are commonly used for. How that can be seen as offensive is pretty weird. I own a bullie and find it sad that other owners are becoming so scared of their dogs image that they now have to go after ads such as that one. Its fine to educate people but please, lets not start preaching to people about them.
