You will not believe what I have found out this morning friends! Remember a week or so ago I blogged about The Lion man?! It’s a reality show where Craig Busch is filmed rearing and looking after lions. It fascinated me. Well this morning I was having a conversation with someone about dogs and which one they would have if they could have one. I stated a Staffordshire bull terrier and they stated a Jack Russell, or a beagle! Hmmm each to their own I guess. Do you have a dog? If so what breed?
Anyway I digress. Apparently there are such things as Lion fighting dogs! Can you believe it?! They are reared in South Africa to distract the lions so that the owners of the dogs can kill the lion. They are called Rhodesian Ridgeback’s. They sound mean don’t they … look at these beasts! It’s almost a horse!
Chasing a Lion!
It's a horse I swear!
It has a Mohawk!
Plllleeeeease tell me you have one! The person who I was having the conversation with has forbidden me to write about this but I don’t care, I laughed my socks off this morning. He or maybe a she (I can’t divulge this information!) has been bitten by one of these dogs and the dogs name was called Fluffy. What?! I hear you all say? One of those Dinosaur dogs is called Fluffy! I am amazed that this person is still alive and well let alone here to tell the story of the dogs name!
Yes friends, if you have one of these huge dogs that hunt for lions in your back garden then please leave a comment here. I would love to get you and your dog on a Cunard ship. You can take them with you, you know. I would love to take a photo of the dog walker’s face as you present him with your pet for him to take your dog for a walk. I’m sure the dog would be taking him for a walk!
He's in for a shock!
Oh, I did smile at this, I hope you do to!
They're actually really calm loving dogs. We have 2 of them.
ReplyDeleteWe have one called Leo (the Lion Killer ha ha). He's about 40 kgs (exactly half the size of the boerboel male we had before) and tears around exactly like the one in your pic. He's a crazy sweet happy dog who is naughty about chasing goats and worrying cows - which I'm not totally sad about since the neighbour's goats don't come onto our place and break the orange treas any more ...
