The “Bull-Dogger” is quite possibly the rarest African American film poster ever made. Bill
Pickett (1867-1932) was a genuine cowboy. He invented the practice of what we call “bull-
dogging,” or steer wrestling. Like a lot of what used to be strictly ranch activities, bulldogging
has become a rodeo sport.
