Many people don't know that Daddy originally belonged to rapper Redman. When the pit bull was four months old, Redman didn't feel he could care for it properly in his environment. He sought a trainer and, through a referral, found Cesar. Daddy has been with the Millan family ever since!
As Daddy ages, the Millans have had to pay closer attention to his health and bring him in for frequent veterinary check-ups. Redman felt that arranging for Daddy's return to him would be too complicated, due to the dog's age, and so the rapper graciously decided that the dog would be better off staying with Cesar and the Millan family!
Bio: Daddy is Cesar's first right-hand dog. Since Cesar raised him from four months of age, Daddy is used to being around dogs of all sizes. This exposure and his natural balanced energy makes him a perfect candidate for rehabilitating other dogs, particularly those with dog-aggressive issues. Daddy doesn't react unless he is given a command to react, and his calm-submissive energy is contagious.
One of Daddy's remarkable traits is his high tolerance for smaller dogs. He allows them to do whatever they want to him. Italian greyhounds Lita and Rex like to climb on top of Daddy, often curling around his body to go to sleep. Daddy is also a keen observer of emotion. If a family member is having a rough day or feeling sad, Daddy immediately picks up on it. He'll lay at your feet and wait for a belly rub or a pat on the back. After receiving affection, he shakes it off and walks away. He does the same with dogs who seem down!
Often, in the morning, Daddy will let you know he's awake by bringing you a gift: a shoe, a T-Shirt, or a stuffed toy. He'll walk around with the item in his mouth, waiting for someone to notice. Then he lets you take it out of his mouth and walks away with his tail wagging.
On hot days, Daddy likes to dig holes in the ground and enjoy the cool reprieve they provide. Even more than that, he loves mud! The last time it rained, Daddy had a blast, rolling around like there was no tomorrow. When he came back, wagging his tail in greeting, he was completely brown. There was even mud in his nose!
Forums Motto: Stay calm and assertive!

To win, between now and November 7th we have to get the most donations to our cause (every person can donate once per day and have it count as a unique donation). We can also win daily awards of $1,000 and $500 if we can get the most people to donate in any 24-hour period. The great thing about this Challenge is that it doesn't matter how much you give, but instead how much you do to encourage friends and family to get involved in our cause. We all need to come together and start promoting the cause if we want to win.
Each of us has tons of friends on Facebook who we can ask to donate to our cause. But let's think big too — can you throw a party and get people to donate through the cause when they arrive, can you organize other people to go out and fundraise from all of their friends? Post our Challenge link on your website, in your newsletter, at the bottom of your email signature – wherever and whatever you can do to encourage your network to support our cause. As you reach out to your friends be sure to tell them why this cause matters to you. The possibilities are endless so let's talk about what we can do to win by commenting on this note.
