Pit Bull dogs portrait picture

MPH-Emery/Sumner Joint Venture

Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan is usually calm, assertive and in control. So what made him gasp, reel backwards and raise his hands to his face? The surprise unveiling of a huge portrait of Daddy, MIllan's beloved pit bull, that a grateful client painted to thank the Dog Whisperer.

For more than 10 years, Daddy has been Millan's right-hand dog. Viewers of Millan's television show, "Dog Whisperer," know that Daddy is the ultimate balanced dog. "I have never had a dog like Daddy," Millan writes in the inaugural issue of his magazine, "Cesar's Way." "I've been astounded by his intuition, consoled by his affection, and awed by his silent empathy."

It's no secret that the gentle pit bull is getting old. "Daddy's doing great, but he's 15 now," Millan told Paw Nation in an interview earlier this month. "So you can see the age crawling in. It's the body -- especially his back legs -- so he gets acupuncture twice a week; he swims every day; walks every day; and eats great meals for his digestion."

Still, Daddy can't work with Millan like he used to. "I leave it up to him [whether he wants to work]," Millan said. "Some mornings, he wakes up and he wants to go. And the funny part is, those mornings, I really need him. Daddy always helps me. It's a partnership."

In tonight's episode of "Dog Whisperer" (airing on the National Geographic Channel at 9 p.m.), Millan helps a Pekingese who's afraid of food and water, a Chihuahua who likes to bite people, and a pair of chow mixes who pick fights with each other.

Wow, what a beautiful gift! I am a big fan of Cesar's show and it's obvious he's improved so many lives, humans and dogs. The artist here is very talented and really gave Daddy the thanks he deserves also.

Precious. I watched the show as I do every Friday night and Cesar was thrilled with the portrait. There's a saying "those who aren't sure if they believe in God need only to look into the eyes of an animal and they will." Animals are the best the world has to offer.

I am a faithful watcher of Dog Whisperer. I absolutely love Cesar and Daddy. It was so precious to see Cesar's response to his painting...it made me cry. You can definately tell that they have an incredible bond. It's like no other, and it is so awesome to see them together. What an honor for Cesar to be able to have that painting forever!

I was so happy to see such a wonderful gift be given to Cesar! I also love how he shows how american pit bull terriers can be the best dogs in the world by giving them what they need. I have a bully myself and it made me tear up see such a beautiful painting of Daddy. Makes me want to ask the painter to make one of my Bullit!

Mr. Millan I have a 7month female pitt terrier and she is getting to be to much for me I'm disabled and she is now about 42lbs and very strong she is very lovable but I live in Ct in a townhouse and I m starting to see that Luna needs room to run but I don't think I can keep her anymore she is to much for me to handle. Any suggestions Thanks Angela
