The Dog Whisperer's Favorite Pitbull, Daddy, Dies

Daddy, who died on Friday at the age of 16, did much to rehabilitate the unfair image pitbulls have of being vicious dogs.

RIP Daddy.

I think Daddy had a good long life. I would've given much to have my beloved Dax for that long.

It's not a bad dog, it's a bad owner.

As far as Daddy goes, I think he lived a great life. He'll be waiting for the Milan family at the Rainbow Bridge.

I sure do love my pittie.
