In defense of Benjamin, he didn't really mean that like it came out.
He's stuck behind enemy lies in Beantown with NO Fox News right now.
He's really quite a decent fellow.
[Toldja Ben...there's lots of manly men who love their critters big time, too]...;))
You may be right.
However, from experience, real tough guy will always stick up for the animals, especially domesticated dogs. Loyalty goes both ways.
Our German Shepard would die fighting to protect me and mine, and she'll get the same loyalty in return.
The comment about dog lovers, animal lovers being wussies was out of line. Some of the biggest, bad asses I know are into their dogs. I am one of those that will stand fast with my dog. She protects me, I protect her. Period. End of story.
