Game dog movie..

[SGC]

Does anyone have the paper back book titled; The Life of Humbug written by Fredric Maffei. Was a story about a fictional dog man from Texas and his dogs. Seems it was the dog man from California named Maffei that was the author. I loaned my copy out and never got it back. Had a great story line etc. Only part I did not like was the dog himself talking in the match about hitting a bleeder and all the yada yays that go along with that.

Yes, Fredric Maffei wrote THE LIFE OF HUMBUG book that was first published in 1979 and then another edition was printed in 1990. It's an excellent read and worth finding. His RED TINA book is pretty good too, and he also wrote MAN MEETS BULLDOG which is a collection of articles he wrote.

Freddy is still around, he's not so young anymore but still writes well. I wish he would reprint those 3 bulldog books, but I've not been able to talk him into it. One of his newer books on Amazon has a bulldog story in it but HUMBUG and RED TINA are better.

Here is a link to one of his stories that I posted almost a year ago --

I thought it was new when I posted it but I did find this story published in a 1990s UK bulldog magazine. Still, it is not well known anymore.

Was another paper back novel written about a hired helper that helped a Pro dog man work and match his dogs. One of the dog characters was the honorable Mr. Sam. That one may have been titled Pit Bull. Anyone know the correct title and author of this paper back fiction novel? Both were great reading and published in the late 70's or early 80's. Cheers

I think the book you mean is PIT BULL by Stephen Geller, published in 1967 and the paperback came out in 1969 with the same cover as the hard cover book.

I have read it years ago and thought it was ok but I wished it had more about the dogs in it. Maffei was a better writer on the dogs.

Jack, you should finish your novel too! I'd enjoy reading that one...

Ditto SCG that was the book. Cheers

I don't know about a movie, but a video game would be the shit! Could you imagine having all the bloodlines to pick from then schooling the dog, having a keep then matching it with real time control like playing football! Then breeding and building a yard! It's is very possible in pc or console form and would sell like hotcakes!

Now this idea I like, but unfortunately we'll never see this happen in our lifetime. In the states anyway. And if you think we have cyber doggers now, they'd be stuck in their room all day on electronic crack. Mainly because most of them have never owned a real bulldog to begin with.

There was a phone APP along those lines a year or so ago. It got a ton of flack from the media and general public. Im not positive but I dont think its available anymore.

Dog Wars was the name of it I believe, and it's still available to play as far as I know. But it was a far cry from what Wise was referring to. You know as much as I like to play Tiger Woods, I'd be conditioning dogs while conditioning dogs LOL

I wish I knew how make them damn games I'd sell it underground all day, if I ever go to Japan or china I'm looking into it!lol

A quick Google search and it appears it's been renamed KG Dogfighting

LOL, I should have known you would remember the name. I had it on my phone for a few days but I didn't like it. Definitely a far cry from what it could be if it were a video game. I know, if you had it, you would probably never leave the house. LOL.
