I am so sorry to hear about Daddy, we live in Swaziland, Africa and have been following your show for only a little while. He was such an inspiration & strong presence on the show and became a celeb in our house. Thank you for a wonderful show as you give us dog owners a new way of looking at our best friends.

Dear Daddy
Daddy, precious golden boy, an angel in disguise,
You honor me with loyalty, a Pit Bull and a prize.
You taught me how to get along, how to show and give respect.
Your beaming smile, lumbering walk, all balanced and correct.
I looked to you for guidance when another dog seemed mad,
and learned that patience and assertiveness was what they never had.
I am the dog psychologist helping canines find their way,
which makes you my professor each and every day.
If pup and pit, boxer mix, and pom can get along,
Then surely man can change their ways as easy as a song.
So now that your in heaven I know that all is fine,
you will be sure that others there learn to tow the line.
There are so many puppies, dogs and people that you touched,
who wish that they had met you and rubbed you for good luck.
But you are where you most belong helping Angles show the way
how man should live like Jesus taught in a firm yet gentle way.
I will remember every tail wag, every greeting and every romp,
each time you welcomed another you opened up your heart.
Now I know just how to live a life that is full of fun,
with Calm, Assertive Energy, dear friend, Job Well Done!
Oh one last thought you should know, I think this sets a precedent,
all votes are in and all agree you should have been our President.

Dear Cesar - we in south africa have only had your show for a few weeks now and i have already fell in love with Daddy! I only heard of his passing today via your website and i must admit i cried for your loss! How horrid!

Our thoughts & prayers are with you here in South Africa! We adore you! We wish you just as much joy with Junior in the years to come and look forward to watching him 'try' to step into Daddy's paws!

My border collie and i watch & record your shows without fail!!

My husband called me one day to ask me if he could bring a dog home. I gave the idea a quick thought and said "it depends". Then he gave me the whole story...These people he knew had a pitt bull, they were planning to move to Florida. The area they were moving to had a 'vicious dog law', therefore this dog wasn't going with them. I admit I was scepticle at first. I didn't know who had this dog or how it was raised. As everyone knows Pitts are not well recieved at all. I've never been afraid of dogs, but I knew if this dog had been mistreated we were going to be in trouble. I finally agree and my husband went to pick him up. Standing in the kitchen, I heard the back door open. In walks this 75+lb dog with a quiet confidece and 'a look' in his eyes. He walked passed me and took a stroll threw the house. He smelled around and looked in all the rooms. He came back to the kitchen and stood in front of me, took a big sigh and layed down as if to say 'I approve'. I knew right then that he belonged with us. Around the same time as his arrival I started to watch 'The Dog Whisperer'. That was the first time I saw Daddy. Every episode I watch that featured Daddy, I would look over at this wonderful animal sitting beside me. I see alot of Daddy's behavior in our beloved Gator. I often wonder if they are related. He's been the most wonderful dog we've ever had. He always seems to know just the right move to make. Whether it's with a child, a stranger or even another animal. We take him everywhere and have tried to be an ambasador for his kind. I've truly been amazed by this dog. I'm afraid we may never have another one like him. We brought Gator home when he was 2yrs. old and as he approaches his 9th birthday this fall, I pray that we will have him in our lives for a few more years. Pit bulls are famous in circles of KNOWLEDGEABLE dog people. Much thanks to your family,staff and Daddy for all you've done and contiue to to do for our misunderstood friends. The world has been made a better place.

I can't stop crying you must be devastated. no matter how many dogs we ever own each one holds a special place in your heart.
Daddy holds a place in so many hearts,thank you for shearing Daddy with us all

Hi Cesar!

I'm sorry to say that I have just heard about Daddy's passing. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Daddy will always be remembered for the great roll model he was and loving companion to you and your family.

All our best wishes to you all,

Doug & Teri Champigny

Cesar,

Thanks for sharing this wonderful example of this wonderful, intelligent, loyal breed. During the shows I always looked forward to the clips that included Daddy and was disappointed when you didn't bring him along. He had a wonderful, calm, confident aura about him that never failed to steal any scene. I have come to realize that by sharing him with the Dog Whisperer audience you have allowed him to become our dog as well as your own. When I saw that he had passed I felt like it was my own faithful companion that had left us.

I am so glad we have Junior to carry on Daddy's legacy.

Words wont do justice to what Daddy has achieved.
In the UK pitbull "types" are banned and systematically euthenised - horrendous. Yet EVERYONE I have shown daddy to has said "what a lovely dog, wish my ... was that well behaved!! - what breed is it??"

Daddy showed everyone that your "clothes" dont depict your behaviour!!

Daddy RIP - cuddle NuNu for Tina!

Junior ... the future is yours.........

I heard about Daddy's passing last week and felt compelled to post a comment (never do this kind of thing. Although I am primarily a cat person (allergic to most dogs) I have become a huge fan of the show. My husband tells me I have to get a dog to whisper because the cats, well they're cats! I guess there are many things about Daddy that made him special, but for me it was just the look in his eyes, there is no doubt that he was the sweetest, calmest, most loyal, lovable dog ever, he is a never ending role model for pit bulls and all breeds that have a bad rap because of their human companions. Please accept my deepest sympathies and I look forward to keeping in touch with Cezar and in pack.

Not just an inspiration in the canine world, but a lesson to us all in the importance of finding harmony and balance in our own lives. Daddy, you may be gone from this world but the legacy you have left is still here!

I've been watching my recorded episodes of DW the last couple of days and loving every minute. I haven't been on the net for a while, but today a feeling urged me to log on to Cesar's site and even though I've been dreading this news, it still came as a shock. I broke down and cried with such immense sorrow, it was as though he had been my own. I've always loved adored pit bulls, and like everybody else, I felt a special connection with Daddy. From reading many of the posts, it's obvious that Daddy touched and inspired people in a very personal way. I have no doubt that animals have souls and are here as teachers and healers, and it's hard to imagine a more beautiful example of animal, dog, breed and name than Daddy. My heart goes out to you, Cesar, and your family and though the loss is beyond words, you also have my deepest heartfelt thanks for your work and dedication that has helped enrich the lives and bonds of so many humans and their companions. Daddy will always be at your side.
Love, Runee

Sorry for the loss of your dog i kno how you feel, on youtube i have some vids, two of which are dedicated to you and Daddy, because youre my insperation. Look up "Sexylexihottie" sorry for my name my freind did it thx cesar! =] =[

Ceasar, you and your friend Daddy, taught me that pit bulls are not dangerous dogs. I'm ashamed to say that I thought they should be banned, etc. But that was before you and Daddy. My sympathy to you and your family; some losses are very diffcult. Remember that, the loving God that sent you that awesome dog, will take care of him and love him with a perfect love. Ceaser, you are doing an awesome and much needed work, God give you strength to continue.
In my prayers, barbinbarrhead, Barrhead, Alberta Canada.

All my love to ceasar , daddy will be missed all over the world, you should be so proud of the dog that you raised who spent his life loving/helping others.

Just want to offer my condolences on the loss of Daddy. I enjoyed watching him on the show. He was a great dog and he helped a lot of dogs and people. Thinking of you.

I am so sad...Daddy is one of the main reasons
I've fallen so in love with the breed! I have fostered 3; the last one, Turk became my permanent buddy last March. He's still young and full of energy, I'm looking forward to getting his CGC and possibly svc certification. Eventually I hope that Turk and I will achieve great things just as you and Daddy did. Our pack thanks you and Daddy for the great example you provided in guiding the rest of us humans in becoming great pack leaders! I only wish I had had the pleasure of meeting him in person...Life will be a little emptier without his presence...and a little darker without the light he brought to those who followed his example...very sad,but grateful that I had the chance to see a pit prove the stereotype WRONG!!!

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Daddy. He was a very big part of our lives as well. My family would like to express our sympathy to you all over the loss of such a special friend "Daddy".....

God Bless Daddy, Cesar, Ilusion, your whole family and the puppy pack -you must miss Daddy terribly, words cannot express, my heart is with you. blessings to this courageous, sweet, loving pit bull who helped so many others. Thanks Cesar Millan for sharing this special family member with us all.

My deepest condolences on losing your partner and soul friend Daddy. Honor the connection you shared by being gentle with yourself and continuing to help dogs everywhere. He was such an ambassador for a wonderful breed and was the perfect example of dogs' importance in our lives. My thoughts are with you and your family and the pack.

I am truley sorry for your loss, I lost my first rescue pittbull Hunter last year due to cancer. In October 2009, I rescued Lacie, she is also a pittbull, I have never had such loving dogs. My heart still hurts from losing Hunter. My thoughts are with you

Dear Cesar and Family!

I am so sorry to hear of your lose! I have been watching the show since I seen Daddy and just had got one of my two pit bulls! I think he was the most amazing dog I have ever seen!!! And since people tend to believe what they hear about the breed it was nice to see someone show that is not the normal way of their breed! They truely are the most amazing dogs! Loyal and loving!! One of mine is the BIGGEST sissy lala I have ever seen! But he truely loves all people and animals! I know Daddy is in a better place which is hard since he had a great loving home and good life! I hope Jr does his job to the fullest and follows in Daddy's foot steps the best he can! I know NO DOG will EVER replace Daddy!

Daddy will always be remembered by my pack and I. My boys Brock (a Rottweiler) and Brownie (a Pit-mix) will miss watching him help Cesar train pack leaders. We thank you very much Daddy. We know you are in Doggy Heaven with out a doubt. Thank you Cesar for everthing you do as well. We love ya.

Daddy is the reason I record every episode of The Dog Whisperer and I wish that Cesar would do a show just about Daddy and even a book. Daddy makes the show!!

I love daddy i live in the uk where the pit is illegal and i work at a rescue kennels where we hold alot of pits an we have a couple that are so lovely you would never believe what people say about them and then you walk round the corner where we have to that are natural born fighters and keeping there minds stimulated is difficult but they are fine with a few us who deal with them every day the bond gets formed. I absolutely love pits in the right hands as you prove they can be great.
