I don't know what mix Tino is but he sure is a good dog!

PETA is deeply saddened at this time.

Good dog bump.

Looks just like my old German shepherd mix, who we got from the pound. He was a great dog with the family but a holy terror with everyone else. I'm afraid the neighbors cheered when he passed on, but he couldn't have been more loyal to us.

They should outfit an army of Presa Canarios with body armor and let them run wild in downtown Baghdad.

MWD bump!

He looks like some sort of German Shephard cross, I had one once. Extremely smart dogs, best dog I ever had.

Well....I'm one of those "dog people"........;)

( and I knew that all this dog trivia would actually be useful *someday* ) LOL!

[Salamander]

You are welcome.....:)

Tino is a beautiful dog. We had a trained guard dog - Baron.

They are really faithful and loving to their families.

Enjoyed reading this article.

Thanks

As I was reading I thought to myself "Hope there's a picture on this thread" and there it was at the bottom.

Great post!

Off Topic - Cool post. Speaking of posts, this is my first one here. I am a retired Canadian Naval Engineering officer (retired from the Navy, I still have to work) living in the Yukon. I spent a lot of time lurking at DU enjoying their despair at the "incomprehensible" success of Bush, and grew intrigued concerning their hatred of Freepers (whatever they were!?). Well, I took a look, and I am hooked. Thank you for letting me participate. No doubt I am in the wrong forum completely, but look forward to learning the right places to post.

Somewhere in my military library I have a guerrilla traing manual. It states the most difficult adversary a guerrilla infiltrator can face is a dog. When confronted by a team, of pursuers, standard proceedure is too kill any dogs first or you are dead meat. In jungle warfare a team of well trained dogs will wipe out a small opposing force hidden in high grass or other thick folliage.
