Dear Cesar and Family

I was deeply saddened by the news of Daddy's passing :o(

Daddy was a true ambassador for his breed and dogs in general...he was absolutely gorgeous!

RIP sweet Daddy

I am very sorry for the loss of Daddy - it is very obvious that Daddy had such a great impact on everyone he encountered. His lasting courage, boldness and discipline was always felt when he was on the shows. May his spirit comfort your daily activities and his memories strengthen your hearts. God Bless.

Querida familia Millán:
Desde México, D.F. les envío un gran abrazo. Sé que hace ya varios meses que Daddy partió, pero yo no lo supe hasta hoy. Mi familia y yo amamos su programa y lo vemos todas las semanas. Acá pasa una temporada atrasada, así que vemos a Daddy continuamente. Nos enamoramos de él y disfrutamos enormemente el show porque somos amantes de los perros.
El pasado 21 de Junio mi amado Gran Danés de 10 años de nombre Jack partió al cielo de los perros, luego de sufrir de torsión gástrica. Fue operado de emergencia y al abrirlo encontraron que su bazo tenía un gran tumor canceroso. Lo extirparon pero el tumor afectó su hígado y no logró recuperarse. En menos de 24 horas lo perdimos. Siempre fue un perro amado y cuidado, por ello superó el promedio de vida de su raza. Estuvimos con él hasta el último momento y nos queda la tranquilidad de saber que fue un perro feliz que deja un lugar imborrable en nuestro corazón. Seguro que Jack y Daddy ya juegan juntos.
Gracias por hacernos felices con tu programa.
Saludos cariñosos!

There aren't enough words to thank you, Daddy. You have been one of the finest Ambassadors for dogs and humans in many countries. I just want Daddy to know that after he crosses Rainbow Bridge, there will be a small Westie named "Sydney" waiting to play with him. Sydney was 18 when he crossed, and one day I hope to play with both of you. Cesar, thank you for sharing "God's Angel" with the world. It's pretty hard to find an animal lover who didn't know the kindness of a pitbull named "Daddy"! Your in our hearts and prayers, God Bless.

I guess it's natural thing and everyone has to experience it sooner or later. You teach people to move on and you have the truth of it. Hardest thing to cling to your own wisdom sometimes though. But just look at all these people who feel you and it's beyond sympathy. There's a million lights inside that darkness that couldn't have been seen in broad daylight but there they are, ever shedding light upon these beautiful spirits that have radiated their love upon so many. To you, your wife, your sons and friends and family...I wish for you to come to peace with it and the strength to stand and face this pain. Sincerely,
Dirk

I am a great Fan of the Dog Whisperer. I watch the show alot, even the reruns. I have become more of a pack leader, after watching the show. It amazes me every time. I love it. When I first heard of Daddy's passing, I cried. I have tears right now. He was a great influence, and made a great impact as a dog owner. Especially, Pits. Anyway, I just want to say I am so SORRY for your loss Ceaser. We love you, and what you do. Thank you, for being a wonderful person. You Rock!

I am so proud of how daddy acted toward other dogs. I was readying the email that was sent out when I was playing with my four dogs. I have a pitbull as well and my dream is that he is as friendly as daddy. Ceasar I am sorry for your loss but happy that daddy was apart of your changes in so many families. He will live on through everyone he helped.

I read the news about Daddy while waiting in line in the grocery store's cashier. I could not help it, I cried a little bit after the shock.
There is nothing in this life so far that have hit me as hard as the loss of my best friend six years ago. Only when someone gets to feel that unconditional love with such a wonderful creature, is when one can really understand living beings are connected by strong forces.
Daddy had a great life I am sure... Thank you Cesar for sharing with the world this great example of what a happy dog should be like!

I would like to extend my sincere sympathies on the loss of your beloved Daddy. No mere words can ease your grief but please know that your sadness is shared by many. His spirit will be with you always, watching over you. His love knows no bounds. You will see him in the eyes of the pack. He is a testament to the breed and to you.

We just put our 14yr. old female pit down a few weeks ago. Her name was Catera, she is the absolute best dog we've ever own. Just like daddy, if you stepped on her tail or tripped over her she would never even turn to snap. She had a huge tumor which was cancer and it was the most difficult decision I ever had to make. We have a one year old pit named Sooby which we had since she was two months old. and she still has a long way to go before she's even remotely close to where Catera was but we love her. My five boys, Sooby and I are still morning the lose of her but we know she's in a better place now.. Roaming the heavenly fields with Daddy....
Sincerely,
The Archambault Family

Cesar,I just found out about Daddy. I am so sorry. He was a wonderful dog, best friend and mentor. He's really going to be missed. I've had a stroke and you and Daddy have been such an inspiration to me. I miss him already. Thank you for all the help and Daddy for all the lessons I've learned from him. God's speed, and I love you and Daddy.

Daddy is and always will be a big part of The Dog Whisperer.I think of his big walk and the smile on his face and he lives forever in our hearts.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

My husband and I watch your show all the time. We have learned a few tricks to use on my daughter-in-laws pit. He responds well to the things we have tried. In fact, he even looks sort of like a younger Daddy. We have enjoyed watching Daddy and you and I especially enjoyed your 100th show. Daddy looked in fine spirits as if he just knew how great a day that was for you and everybody. I know the feeling of loosing a dear pet. I lost a cat to old age, also. There were times I could still hear her jumping up on the door screen to be let in the house. I heard this for 2 years until we moved. We will always remember Daddy with love and affection. Take care and God bless you and your family and, of course, the pack. Daddy's memory will live on forever.
Take care,

I just found out about Daddy today while watching Dog Whisperer. I feel so sad and my heart goes out to you in your loss, Dear Millan Family. Thank you, Cesar, for sharing Daddy with us. He was truly so special. I loved learning from him and about him. Losing these special loved ones is so hard to think about and even harder to experience. I do believe we will be reunited with them in the next life. My prayers go out to you. Thank you Daddy for all you have given. We will never forget you.

May you live on forever in syndication.

Let's just say that on Friday's I would prepare my spot with Cary Grant, boxer boy, and watch Daddy do his thing. I can't stop crying. He was like one of the family. But his legecy will live on with Junior.

I wanted express my condolences Cesar and the Millan Family on the loss of Daddy. I have only started watching the Dog Whisperer in the last year or so. I could see right from the start how special of a dog he was and how special he was to you Cesar. I lost a dog 2 years ago and he is still a hard one to get over. He was my once in a life time. I have another dog that is just as special and she is going to be a eleven this year. I just don't know where all the time goes. I don't want to think of the time I will have to say good-bye to her. I am not looking forward to that. I just don't know how I will ever be able to extinquish life from a dog that loves it so much. She is 10 but she still has energy to burn, but she too is slowing down. I am trying my best to take good care of her and just enjoy her as long as I can. I think we humans who live with animals especially dogs have a unique opportunity to learn how to say good-bye to something you love and also learn to move on and open our hearts to another pet only to go through it all over again. I will miss seeing Daddy on the Dog Whisperer. I don't know if all dogs go the heaven but I think they sure should. I just make all my dogs a promise that I will never forget them and they will live our hearts forever. Once again I feel so bad for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

There will never be another Daddy. But his work will carry on with Junior and Daddy will always have a spot in my heart. I do share your grief with you and your family. My faithful companion who helped me through depression, family deaths and never let me be alone, passed away just 3 days before her 14th birthday on February 24 of last year. She was a little pup when we got her as a stray. She was the most gentle 125 lb Rhodesian Ridgeback/Lab ever. Like Daddy, she was smart, learned obiedence without much help. Cesar, do you believe in "The Rainbow Bridge?". It's a beautiful place we're our precious companions go after they pass. When they get there, the old are young again, the sick are cured and they wait until the day when we too pass. As we approach the Rainbow Bridge, our companions will run with joy to greet us and we shall be together for all eternity. I hope my Mischief and your Daddy are romping in the cool grass and being the best of friends. Bless them both for all those great memories. Thanks to you Cesar, I am a volunteer dog walker at our local shelter and studying your books to pursue a dream to save the dogs that are considered unadoptable. A trained shelter dog will get adopted, the untrained will be passed by. Thank you Cesar for all your work and for sharing your very special Daddy with us all. God Bless you and your family.

I am so sad to hear Daddy passed away. I enjoyed watching him on your show and know you and your family loved him dearly. He will be missed.

I am typing this crying about your loss of Daddy. It should give you great comfort that your tears are shared by so many who also loved Daddy. When I would be watching your show (which is ALL the time !) I would tell my husband about the shows troubled dog and he would always say " Okay, but where is Daddy?" When my own dog won't listened I would tell him "I'm going to call Cesar and Daddy!!" I just want to say to you and your entire family, that I am truly sorry, and I am sure that Junior will make Daddy proud...and he will look at you with the same trusting and loving eyes...Mary Crim

this is indeed a very sad news. i just came from an overnight outing, it's actually our group's first anniversary (passion for pets) and we celebrated it in a resort with a swimming pool and of course our dogs were with us. we came back sunday evening and found out after opening my email that daddy's gone already.

my views about dogs really changed when i started watching your program, dog whisperer (it's not yet available here but i was able to access some of it in the internet. sorry for that but without these internet thing, i will never know about you and maybe up til now my dogs will not be as happy as they are today).

right now, i am always checking your site, and i also have 2 of your books. with all these things, and daddy as your ever loyal, calm submissive, handsome pitbull assistant, i will have a hard time to convince myself that he already said goodbye.

whenever i watch him, i am so amazed to the energy that he projects that affects other dogs and make everything cool and balance. he is no lassie or rin tin tin. what he was doing there was something huge, true and incredible.

i know that wherever he is today, i hope that those who have watch him will absorb his "teachings" and pass it on to their beloved pets. in that way he will always be remebered.

thank you daddy, we will sure miss you.

thank you cesar for sharing to us your great friend!

All dogs are special but some dogs touch our hearts in ways we cannot explain. I believe Daddy was such a gift to you & all who had the pleasure of meeting him or just watching him on T.V. Daddy's energy was always calm and serene. In a strange way I thought of him like a mountain.? My deepest condolances. I know his presence will be greatly missed by both his two and four legged family.

Cesar and Family,
My sincere sympathy for you and your family, I always loved watching Daddy stroll into a house like he owned it. He was a great dog and he will be deeply missed.

Crystal in Florida.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Daddy will always be with you in heart and spirit. Love never ends.
