"If your dog greets you in an overexcited way, he is probably trying to tell you that he is lonely and bored; his needs are not being met." ... Cesar Milan
Cesar
Millan, all his family and friends, his staff
and volunteers, and dog lovers all around the
world today will mourn the passing of one of the
most loyal, trusting, well-balanced, and
influential pit bull ambassadors the world has
ever known. Daddy, Cesar's longtime friend and
partner in canine rehabilitation, died
peacefully surrounded by family on Friday the
19th of February. He was sixteen years
old.
He lived each day of those sixteen
years happy and fulfilled as Cesar's
right-hand-" man," helping to shape the behavior
of entire generations of dogs by showing them
the way to balance. He stood as champion for
calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was
instrumental in helping to repair their image as
violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts. He
successfully battled cancer and weathered
chemotherapy, and even got the opportunity to
present at the 56th Annual Creative Arts Emmy
Awards!
His name is now added to that
honorable roster of dogs gone by whose influence
is still felt today, and which includes some of
Cesar's beloved childhood heroes: "Rin-Tin-Tin.
" "Lassie." ... "Daddy."
