Description
My 110lb American Bulldog Tank. You would never know it by looking at him but I can tell you he is all puppy on the inside, sleeps with my two cats at night and gets along with every other cat he has met as well as every dog he has ever met and he loves people. He is a great watch dog as well as he will take a stance when he see's someone who to him looks suspicious to him and will bark and he has a really deep-throated bark.
I adopted rescued Tank on his last day at the animal shelter who were going to put him to sleep. When I got Tank he would sit and lay down on command and was very under weight where as I saw his ribs. I love this dog more than anyone could imagine. How could anyone not look for him when he was missing??? Someone put time into him so I can't understand why no one looked for him. In his paper work it stated he had found the animal shelter and walked right in.

Anthony, I could tell you get it!!! Thank You!!! I was actually intimidated when I first saw Tank but he starred in my eyes and i knew all was OK! I put him in my Mini Cooper S on the passenger seat and when i got in to take him home he climbed into my lap this 110lb American Bulldog and sat in my lap all the way home. i could barley see out of my window driving home and was laughing so hard at what other might have thought when the saw this. I tried to get Tank off my lap a couple of times and then just went with it.

I don't think many people except for those who have been lucky enough to either own or know someone who has an American Bulldog as a family member the contodiction of appearance versus personality this animal possesses ! He is nothing short of an angel from heaven in its display of kindness and gentleness to all humans, in contrast to his furoshious stature in appearance.... a mere glimpse of the unseen ! Marvin Blaine gives us his creativity in the art world but his senseativity comes thru with his saving this animals life just before it was to be uthinized ! ! This tells a lot about Marvin Blaine the man,... a remarkable independent sedative kind and ever so talented human being....focused !!!

Anthony, You Rock!!! Thank You!!! So Appreciated!!! Hard to believe this shelter was going to put him down and he was on his last day and he was only 2 years old and then rescued in the nick of time. Sweetest dog I've ever had. I've had him now 4 years.
