RIP Kong - The Tragic Death Of A Dog Dynasty Legend | DOG DYNASTY

A GIANT tattoo memorialising the fallen dogs of Dark Dynasty K9s is officially underway. Legendary pitbull and son of the Hulk, Kong, passed away from Lymphoma in 2021 and the DDK ranch hasn't been the same since. Owner Marlon said: "Although I've lost a lot of legends over the years, when Kong died it was just out of the blue. When I think about Kong in-depth there's still a lot of pure sadness that doesn't have anywhere to go. It's hard to describe the connection I had with him. He was like the heart of DDK." But Kong isn't the only iconic dog to have been lost in recent years. Marlon and family also said goodbye to Hulk's grandfather and DDK mascot, General, back in 2019. In memory of his fallen soldiers, Marlon has started work on a huge memorial back tattoo, starting with a faithful recreation of General himself. The DDK co-founder travelled to Xclusive Ink in Connecticut to get the process underway. He said: "The plan is to just have a mural of fallen legends on my back. I'm willing to use my entire back for it." In the meantime, DDK is enjoying Kong's legacy by raising his final litter of puppies. Raiden, Kong's son, is showing promise as Marlon's next superstar protection dog, while another of Kong's sons, Vinnie, became a favourite of Co-founder, Lisa. She said: "We didn't plan on keeping any of these puppies but given it was Kong's last litter and how special he was to all of us, we each gravitated towards a different puppy."

The fact that animals can get cancer is absolutely unfair. It’s unfair for anyone, but the sweet, innocent, honest love from them, this world is cruel yo.

[debbiependleton]

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. I know Kong was a one in a million. So so sorry. Run Free Kong, Run Free!

[hesayshesayhowboutmesay]

Oh nooo. It’s hard to relive the passing of a soul you cherished in the flesh leaving. We love you Kong. Thank you❤️

Kong passed away a while ago but beastly hasn't done any episodes about him. It was awful. Kong was amazing. Never seen a dog smile like him. Such a big heart and soul he had. R.I.P. baby boy.

Recently lost my best friend. The pain is real. Stay strong 🤞🏽

I'm sorry for your loss, I've lost two of my pitties to cancer. Losing our human families to it is bad enough. But when it takes your fur babies it's hard. 💔

May he rest in peace. He seemed like such a sweet soul.

[grahametheridge]

You gave him a good life, more than what some poor dogs get

The fact that Kong's death was so hard for Marlon to talk about, proves just how much he loves his pitbulls.

When Kong died; both my Mom and I cried...he was that special. We love Hulk, but Kong and Stella's smiles were was got into our hearts. I pray Hulk and Kong's pups you have kept will live long lives!

Makes me cry..heartbroken. I just started watching you guys yesterday, and am already invested. I just lost my 130 lb. American Bull( Baby) and I cry everyday at any given moment. So many memories, we were 2gether 24/7. Miss him so much!! I ❤️ feel your ache.

[melissagahn]

That silly smile of his, I don't believe anyone will ever forget that gorgeous big smile. Rest In Peace, Big Guy. I think he would be proud to know you kept his puppies, they and their offspring will ensure that Kong lives forever.

The loss of these dogs is heartbreaking. Even more sadder when you built that bond with them over the years as they age and get older, eventually getting sick with something. My cousin lost her Husky last year on Christmas morning from a stomach twist. Unable to rush to the vet sadly and he was in a lot of pain, couldn't move and was trying to vomit or defecate. It was heartbreaking and he eventually passed. You try so much for them to stay with you as long as you can until its their time to say good-bye.

I loved Kong since the news of his birth was announced.. it pains me like the loss my own dog. You guys have ti build a memorial on your property so people like me who loved him from afar and thought of them as our own dog can come and visit and pay respect. #lovekong
