Before my wife gave birth to our first child, I wanted a dog to protect us and be our child's friend. I researched high and low and came up with a breed of Bull-mastiff. Much to the shock of my family. They said he will eat her, maul her and savage her. Well was a load of SHIT!
Check this out:
These dogs are lazy, quiet, pain tolerant and gentle.
Perfect with kids. Yes we still keep a close eye on them both.
Ears getting checked as we play doctor. Our little one has been to a few doctors recently and we are playing doctor with the dog.
So this is Teddy. But the awesome thing about him is his protective side. I have been walking with them both, and been approached by people on drugs or drunk. WTF. Teddy transforms from gentle giant to hero, get the fuck away from my little friend. He is all and more that I could wish for in a dog. Friend and play mate for my daughter and the great protector.
Love Teddy.
