She's so cute! May I pet her? - this is the usual reaction when someone sees a Fila who leaves an impression of a melancholical dog with such sad eyes. Why on earth would any sane person want to keep a dog like that? - this is the usual reaction after the Fila has shown what she thinks about the stranger who is staring at her or taking a step closer.

True, the Fila isn't for everyone and Fila owners don't say that just because they think they are better than everyone else, but really, how many people are ready and willing to change their lifestyle because of a dog, without taking the easy way out and changing the dog to adjust their lifestyle? The sacrifices you make for your Fila will be compensated thousandfold with his extraordinary devotion and unconditional love.
