This Morning doctor warns family: ‘I want to call social services over your monster dog’
THIS MORNING got unnervingly heated today as a family went to war with a doctor who branded their pet Pit bull a “monster”.
Dog expert SLAMS couple who keep pitbull around their baby
In the United Kingdom, and various states in America, the breed has been banned, but American dog therapist Marlon - who also owns his own Pit bull - defended the dog as he explained why he even leaves his own pooch Hulk alone with his baby boy Jackson.
“The moment Jackson came home from hospital, he loved [Hulk],” explained Marlon. “Their behaviour has nothing to do with breed, they require firm leadership and structure. I’ve lived with these dogs and my kids for years.”
Holly Willoughby chipped in: “You think the dog will help him walk eventually, but what if [Jackson] pulls his tail? What’s to stop him from attacking back?”
“This comes from imprinting,” stressed Jackson. “Some of this we preach to the world to imprint to their dogs.
“#thismorning disgusting comments from Roger Mugford. Rude and incorrect. Hulk’s owners said he didn't leave him unsupervised,” barked one audience member, as another agreed: “Is anyone else finding this 'dog expert guy' Roger just really rude and saying ridiculous things, he is making me angry! #thismorning.”
One more raged: “That Roger fella can take his stuck up opinions and jog on. What's it even got to do with him?” which was followed by: “nothing to do with the breed of dog it's all to do with how they are treated and raised, Roger Mugford knows nothing at all.”
A fifth vented: “Get that fool #roger off #ThisMorning he is chatting s**t.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
