Hey, my name is Sir Rex a Lot, and I’m a big, strong 95lb dog. I’m a pretty happy guy, and I love my family. I do not love you, and I really don’t give a hoot about how much of a dog person you are, how many dogs you had when you were growing up, and that you believe that you are the dog whisperer of HRM. Please get out of my face, when you are up in my grill and pulling on my ears I am really tempted to bite your nose. Feel free to admire me at a distance, as I know I am quite the regal creature. When I’m out running or walking I am really working very hard and concentrating on my tasks and interruptions perturb me. I am not a mindless rolly polly little aim-to-pleaser, I am a pure bred hunter, swimmer, and guard dog, and I am pretty serious about all that. So back off, please don’t ask to pat me if you see me out and about, and have a conversation with your kids about stranger’s dogs being strangers too, and are to be admired in a “no touching” manner. And please, for the love of God, stop running straight at me and pulling your own mutts right into my path… freaks me the f–k out! —Get Out of My Way

  1. There’s a neutering joke in there, something about “Saving Ryan’s Privates”, but I’m not gonna go there….
    Blast!. It appears I just did. Well, son of a bi……….

  2. ear docking is gross. i just grabbed the first list i googled. i would agree about the dobie but would prefer some sort of belgian shepherd as a guard dog. most mastiffs i meet are goofs, but i tend to hang around well behaved dogs^^my top 3 large dog choices would be a dobie, standard poodle or ridgeback

  3. It needs to be said. I hope some of the idiots going around doing this read this bitch (and no I’m not the OP). As soon as the owner says don’t pet, don’t bring your dog over, etc. people need to fuck off and mind their own business.

  4. Hey, Sir Rex-A-Lot…I get you, you wanna be left alone during your daily constitutionals and enjoy your tree-watering and sniffing meditations in peace. That’s cool.

    It’s just that you’re likely a dog of the type that screams silently to the world, “I’M SAFE! I’M WELL-BEHAVED! I’M A GOOD DOGGIE!” You’re also likely rare enough to draw attention – the weight’s a bit of a giveaway. I’m thinking you may be a rehabbed greyhound, or a Newfoundland, or somedog of that stature.

    The thing is, though, that people tend to trust you based solely on what you are. I understand that it’s a dangerous assumption, but it’s one that, God love ya, you’ve been gracious enough to keep going if only because your reputation and that of others of your breed is staked on it. In a city that seems rife with pit bulls, Rotties and the other kinds of dogs that tell the world to stay away, you, alas, have been cursed with one of those genetic configurations that draw people to your human and to you. The day may come when such a curse will truly prove a blessing to you and to your human.

  5. the dog says “i am a purebred hunter, swimmer and guard dog” newfs can swim but not really a hunter. greyhounds, yes to hunting but not great swimmers…i don’t think the dog is going to tell us, but guessing is fun
