    In Memoriam: Daddy the Pit Bull

    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.

    [​IMG]

    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."

    [​IMG]

    He has been immortalized by Dog Whisperer fans in all mediums, from painting, to photographs, to charcoal drawings and papier-mâché sculpture. And, of course, he lives on in his work, reflected in the balance and calm-submission of his protégé Junior, the countless animals to whom he was a positive role model, and in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew him as a calm, sweet, and mellow example of a widely misunderstood breed.

    In Loving Memory.​
    If you would like to honor Daddy’s memory and the contribution he made to improve the lives of other animals, you can make a donation to Daddy’s Emergency Animal Rescue Fund, which will provide assistance for dogs who are victims of abuse or violence, man-made disasters (hoarder and puppy mill rescues), and large-scale natural disasters (hurricanes, fires, and other natural catastrophes).

    I know daddy was a bully but nonetheless he was a pit bull type dog and he meant the world to that man (dog whisperer).

    RIP Daddy

    no matter what my personal feelings are towards CM and his ways, you cant deny the guy loved and took great care of Daddy. he was certainly an asset to the breeds, and helped changed many minds about these dogs. 16 years is alot for these guys. RIP Daddy

    Even though Daddy was an AmBully, he does/did represent the breed as a whole. The average Joe lumps all Bull Dog breeds together and Daddy proved a lot of folks wrong. May he rest in peace.
    Yeah Daddy was adopted from Redman.

    RIP Daddy and hope the Caesar makes it thru this ok. I dont agree w everything he says but his love for his dogs is rivaled by few things i've seen. It hurts to lose a close companion

    My favorite part of the Dog Whisperer show was watching how Daddy interacted and calmed down other dogs. My dog, Bubba, has the same effect on some dogs. When I watched the show and Daddy was on I would say ''there's Daddy'' and Bubba would sit up and watch him.
    R.I.P. Daddy, we're gonna' miss you.
