Good Dogs

Today at the dinner table, my family and I discussed dogs that have reputations to be vicious. (ShepherdsRottweilers, Pitbulls, Mastiffs, Dobermans) you get the picture. We started to discuss how these dogs get a reputation that's undeserved. Considering I have a dog that has more than one of these 'bad dog' types in him, I completely disagree.

When I ask someone who has never met Diesel if he can come with me to their place, they always ask what kind of dog he is. I always say a Rottie Shepherd something and they always look at my like I'm nuts. I always have to assure them he isn't a crazy vicious machine and when they meet him they're blown away.

Although it's hard not to be intimidated by some of these dogs because they're brutes, it's not the dogs that are vicious, it's the owners. The dogs shouldn't get the reputation the owners should. My friend has a pure bred Rottweiler named Cleo and she is the biggest baby I have every met. Aside from Diesel.
Although yes, if some of these dogs got a hold of a little Chihuahua it wouldn't be good at all, but the fact is, most of them don't want to get a hold of little dogs. All they want to do is be lap dogs.

Those little dogs are the crazy ones! Thinking they run the show, they're hilarious. Diesel recently ran away from two Yorkies on our walk. Ridiculous. SO next time you see a dog that you think would kill you or your dog, give the doggie a chance. It's probably the best cuddle buddy ever.
 This is Cleo. The big baby.

And here is your weekly dose of Diesel.

  1. Reena - I agree with you 100% and it breaks my heart when I see a dog at the Humane Society that is not getting adopted because he can only go to a municipality that allows pit bulls etc. My dog was one of those. I did a story a few years ago on an amazing, beautiful, friendly, loveable dogs named Mia who was labelled "pit bull". She wasn't getting adopted because of the ban. So I did another story. Then I got a DNA test and had the city veterinarian come examine her, just so she could hopefully get adopted. The vet declared her a boxer-mix. So now Mia was free to be adopted by anyone. And ... of course I was in love with her at this point, so we ended up taking her home. Best decision we ever made. Every dog I have ever met that comes under any of those breed labels has been so loving and friendly.
