Hulk the 175-Pound Trained Pit Bull Dog Is Really Just a Pussycat When It Comes to His Family

An enormous pit bull named Hulk who lives in New Hampshire may be trained to attack predators on command, but he’s a just a gentle little pussycat when it comes to his family, allowing the resident youngster ride on top of him, pet him, cuddle with him, and rub his belly with nary a growl. Hulk is a part of DarkDynastyK9s, a stable of dogs who have been professionally trained to protect humans when given the signal to do so.

…breeders Marlon and Lisa Grennan say monster dog ‘the Hulk’ is 100 per cent trusted with their young son. Despite the lethal potential of 12-stone [175-pounds] Hulk and the couple’s many other dogs, three-year-old Jordan has grown up with them within arm’s reach. The couple’s company Dark Dynasty K9s supplies animals to high-profile celebrities, billionaires and wealthy professionals – as well as law enforcement around the world. They are trained to have ‘no fear’ and some specialist dogs can even run up the side of fences and walls to reach second-floor windows. Many their dogs share their house on a sprawling 150-acre ranch in New Hampshire, USA. The dogs include more than a dozen highly trained pit bulls – and a single chihuahua.
