Beautiful boy, beautiful dog, fantastic compo, and you know how I feel about animal abuse...no matter how well they are taken care of after..purposely bringing horror in a beautiful dog is unconscionable.. ps this is not an attack on you as a photographer or on this beautiful photo, iyou know that, right?

oh how I hate dog fighting!
Very beautiful pup though and the city landscape in the background is pretty amazing too.

I was very taken by this image, particularly the background and how different the land looks from my homeland. The dog looks to be adorable, but sadly then I read it was bred for figthing, I will never ever undstand how humans can be so cruel as to do this, it is disgusting, I agree with Lorraine's comment and only hope it is not your dog bred for fighting, this image has left me sad unfortunately.

@Kylie Greenan: Hi Kylie No, its not my dog. I just record with my camera what I see. Dogfighting was completely stopped by the Taliban but since they were thrown out it has come back. In Afghanistan it is not as widespread as it is in many western countries where it is big business and linked to the organized crime. Within the last year it has been made illegal in Afghanistan.

I have to agree with Kylie, forcing animals to fight to the death for the pleasure of the intelligent human being is disgusting.
