This diary about life with a so-called "fighting dog" tells of both the beautiful and the difficult moments. The dog does not know that it is called a fighting dog, but this stigma nonetheless defines its entire life and that of its owners. The author wants to show that any breed can be made aggressive, but no dog is born aggressive. Ike was the best example of this: he loved both humans and animals and lived his life in friendly, peaceful naivety.
