I would not feel comfortable owning any more Dogos as they feel very aggressive and less obedient than other dogs I have owned.

His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. <BR/><BR/>The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. <BR/><BR/>If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death. <BR/><BR/>George Graham Vest - c. 1855Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-10340407757992419712009-02-23T18:09:00.000-08:002009-02-23T18:09:00.000-08:00A bull, FerFal?

Once the beast is blinded you can escape or kill it with any convenient weapon. If no pepper spray gouge out its eyes using all the strength you can muster. Let the dog latch onto your lower arm (close to the elbow) and spray or gouge.

You can give them scraps for added protein and then oridnary dog food, not too expensive. Of course you can get fooled into buying the most expesnive dog food and you'll spend a fortune. Done that and 'm not doing that mistake again. Ordinary dog food and some scraps is good enough, and cheap.<BR/><BR/>FerFALFerFALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578136334334588454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-86031100501851631152009-02-23T03:22:00.000-08:002009-02-23T03:22:00.000-08:00How do you defeat such a dog, if he attacks you?How do you defeat such a dog, if he attacks you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-29679614773825515252009-02-22T19:38:00.000-08:002009-02-22T19:38:00.000-08:00I heard of the Dogo Argentino years ago.
