Hercules - Mastiff

Kudos to the woman who walked up to us while I was taking photos of Hercules and asked if she could meet him even though she thought he was a Pit Bull, which he obviously is not. He's a Mastiff mix of some sort but it does go to show how many people, even well intentioned ones, will call any big headed, short haired dog a Pit Bull and how that can easily lead to misidentification in cases of dog bites.

Hercules, though kinda giant-ish, is a big wussy and would more likely hide behind you than get out in front of you. The most dangerous thing about him is his extra large bowling ball head which he knocks into you when he wants pets.

He's got some serious looking scars on his face but I think that may be from a cat who beat him up when he was younger. Everyone's always pickin' on the big guys.

Hercules was spending a few days over Christmas at TAS South but will be available soon from Speaking of Dogs Rescue.
