At the age of 16, "Dog Whisperer" Cesar Millan's beloved pit bull Daddy passed away on February 19th. Daddy came to live with Cesar at age 4 months when his owner at the time couldn't cope with his behaviour. With Cesar's training the dog's behaviour became calm and submissive and he appeared in more than 50 of Cesar's TV shows as a positive example of a well-trained canine.
Daddy was shown to be very sensitive to the needs of other dogs and humans, especially if they were feeling sad.
Cesar commented "I've always seen Daddy as my teacher of life. He brought my family and me so much joy over the years. Personally, he represented what my grandfather taught me, never work against Mother Nature. He will be greatly missed, but his spirit lives on."
Cesar Millan has now set up an Emergency Animal Rescue Fund in Daddy's memory. The fund will raise money to assist dogs affected by hurricanes, fires and other natural disasters, as well as man-made situations such as hoarding, abuse, violence and puppy mills.
