Tattoo was our first bullmastiff and the one who made us fall  in love with the breed. He was from a huge litter of 16 and it was so hard to tell them apart as they all looked the same. There was that one puppy who had those gentle eyes and laidback personality - it was to be our Tattoo boy. I can't remember one thing that he did wrong as a puppy, he was the sweetest and easiest to raise and train. 

Tattoo was very young when we had to say goodbye to him due to his illness. He was the most trusting dog we ever had, Nicole could do anything to him , from nose to tail and he would never move or complain. You could read in his knowing eyes, "ok mom, if you have do it, that is because I need it". He loved to play ball and retrieve it and sometimes tease us with it or just hide it in his mouth. His favorite game was tug of war. Often he would bring is rope to play and if you didn't pay attention he would push you with his nose... so many memories we have of our gentle giant.

Tattoo was a wonderful companion and protector to our family. We miss him greatly... he was our "first" and will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace my sweet boy until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.
