Oh you got it wrong, I walk and play with Bandit. He is my whole life because I don't have any children. I mean he just pulls me a lot because he weighs 58 lbs. I walk him, but I would like to walk him more. My husband plays with him too. And the dog I'm thinking of bringing over is a family members dog. Bandit is very well taken care of and if anything happened to him, I would be very unhappy. I love him so much. We never hit him or anything. He stays right by my side. We scold him and say we will get the newspaper, but we don't hit with our hands. When he is groomed, I worry about him. Believe me, I love this dog. I love all animals.
