Just a Good Ol’ Boy, Never Meanin’ No Harm

Rosholt's dog is also the best cutman around

Jake Rosholt is set to compete at UFC Ultimate Fight Night 17 on Saturday.  It’s just another step in the fighting career for the former NCAA wrestling champion.  His greatest fight of all, however, should be coming about 15 minutes after PETA sees this video. 

PETA may not have a problem with a dog fetching beer for its master, but who are we kidding they absolutely will have a problem with it.  With a little common sense, though, PETA’s going to be picketing Rosholt’s UFC bouts from now on. 

Here’s something I’ve learned over the years.  Most really well trained dogs have been beaten a little.  Not cruel, Mike Vick style beatings, but what I would call “learning beatings”.  It’s for their own good, as most beatings are. 

Rosholt is a trained fighter and has been wrestling his entire life.  If ever there was a person who would throw his dog some “learning beatings”, it would be him.  And dogs don’t just naturally get up and grab you a beer from the fridge one day, that takes some conditioning.  How many times did that pup come back with a diet Dr. Pepper and get slapped in the mouth? 

That dog looked plenty happy to me, but I’m telling you this so you won’t be shocked when PETA starts raising hell.  Sure, that dog probably got punched more than Rosholt has, but it was out of love and now it knows how to fetch beer.  If all beatings turned out that well, Jason Kidd wouldn’t have to get up to get his own beer.
