I love my dogs more than most people, when asked one time about my Rottie, "did you get him for protection" I quicklly answered, no He has me for that. anyone that messes with my dogs is in more trouble than they ever dreamed of, not from the dogs, they were never taught to be aggressive, I have granddaughters, 1-10, and they never even knocked one over, they caught a few of them when thay were falling with proper placement of a body part, but they know more about loyalty then any person I ever met. They are the best thing that ever happened to me.
