Dillinger, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dillinger
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Male Breed: Pit Bull
Home: Kulpmont, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Everyone meet our beloved, goofy clown! We learned of Dillinger when he was about three months old, and just a few months after our first Pit Bull had passed away. Not sure if we were ready for another dog yet, we went to meet me him anyway. Upon arrival, we walked into a clean house, met two polite/friendly adult Pit Bulls, and the man proceeded down to the basement. He came back up with Dillinger, who was pleasantly plump but covered in dirt and poo. Apparently one of the adult dogs didn't like the puppy, so the man kept the him in the basement. Dillinger was afraid of us at first and ran when I approached him. We took him outside into the grass and he acted bizarre. This was the 1st time he had experienced grass (at three months old!). We had concluded our visit, and I knew right away that I'd be back for him.

    A few days later I went back for him! As I was leaving with Dilly in hand, I asked the man what kind of puppy food he was using and he went on to tell me that he would have given me a bag but he just ran out yesterday and that he feeds him 80% raw meat anyway! He then wanted to give me the phone number for his vet so I could get Dilly's ears cropped at a steal of a price, and that I'd be making a "mint" off of Dillinger's offspring when I bred him! News Flash: We have a vet that we've seen and trusted for years! I then went on to tell the man that Dillinger will only be eating puppy food, that he'll be keeping those beautiful ears and that Dilly will be neutered within the month!!! How do ya like that!? The man looked at me like he was going to snatch Dill back out of my hands, so I got in my car and headed right to PetSmart to stock up on "baby" products.

    Today Dillinger is a happy healthy boy. He lives with a seven-year-old Rottweiler and two seven-year-old kitties, one of them being his best friend! Dillinger enjoys car rides, swimming (although he hates a bath), stealing and chewing on socks, peanut butter and napping with his people. He also likes to playing with our neighbor's Pit Bull mix and our other neighbors Bichon Frise. Dill loves meeting new people and other dogs. He's got a great sense of humor, is extremely clumsy and keeps us laughing all day long! We're looking forward to the next ten to fifteen years with this clown!
