The most famous Bullmastiff

Big Dog | March 8th, 2011

The most famous appearance of this dog breed was in the movie Frank, which is a great family movie viewable for the entire family. A must see for dog and Bull Mastiff lovers! An urban family inherits a weekend home on a beautiful island, and they decide to take a vacation and visit the place in summer. The family’s situation is rather complicated, as the father is a workaholic, the son is lonely and the daughter is a spoiled teen.

As they get settled, a wounded and exhausted dog rambles into their house. At first, the father tries to chase away the poor dog, but the children don’t let him. They want to keep Frank. Realizing that this cause somehow united the children and the whole family, the father agreed that they will take Frank to a vet to heal him. Later the whole family realizes how much love this dog brought to their life and they want to keep him.

In this movie we can see that a Bull Mastiff will not just protect and guard you in danger, but it can bring your family members closer to each other. These dogs in fact are not afraid to risk their lives, if they sense that you are in danger.

Big Dog | April 9th, 2010

After a morning walk with your Bull Mastiff, it will be nice to eat breakfast with it, along with a coffee in a Bull Mastiff Handmade Coffee Mug.  Bullmastiffs can be intensely attached to their family, which is why they are considered a good guard, especially when trained and socialized properly. Bullmastiffs may suffer from different medical conditions so you have to take care of it as much as possible. This type of pet is courageous, calm and loving, and you will never want to lose it just because you take its health for granted. Remember that Bullmastiffs were never bred for hunting purposes and rarely show signs of aggression as it has a sweet natured breed and can be the best companion you could ever have.

How Our Best Friends Break Our Hearts – One Dog At A Time

Big Dog | April 23rd, 2009

All our dogs have the ability to break our hearts. Whether you share your life with a BULLMASTIFF or a Labrador Retriever, the bond you form with your dog can be one of the closest and most powerful you will ever experience.

Saving the Strays of Helmand

If you want proof of just how extraordinary the relationsip between man and his best friend can be then you really must read a stunning new book called One Dog At A Time. It has been written by a British Marine and dog lover called Pen Farthing and tells of his time serving in the violent Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

While dodging the bullets and mortars, Sergeant Farthing witnessed the cruel and barbaric Afghan tradition of dog fighting. Rather than standing by as many would have done, he risked his life by breaking up the fighting and freeing the dogs. One of them, a big, battle-scarred mastiff he christened Nowzad after the town he was stationed in, found his way into the Marine compound where he befriended his liberator. As Farthing’’s tour of duty continued, he and Nowzad became inseparable buddies. The tough British soldier and the powerful dog formed an odd couple in the middle of the war zone. They were soon joined by other dogs who were drawn to the sanctuary the Marine compound provided. At one point, one dog pushed her litter of newborn pups through the wall of the compound so that they could be safe from the Taliban bombs and general cruelty of the Afghans towards the dog.

By the end of his time in Afghanistan, Farthing had more than a dozen dogs and puppies living in his makeshift sanctuary. As he prepared to leave, he was faced with the heartbreaking prospect of leaving them all behind.

We won’t spoil the ending of this powerful book, but suffice it to say that two of the dogs he rescued are now living with Pen Farthing in England. He has also set up a fantastic charity to rescue other abused dogs in Afghanistan. His work is truly inspirational and is winning the admiration and support of dog lovers everywhere. Part of the proceeds from the book will go towards his charity.

If you only buy and read one dog book this year, make it One Dog At A Time.
