Butkus the Bullmastiff: from Rocky I (1976) and Rocky II (1979)
At the time of ownership, Stallone’s pet Bullmastiff, Butkus, appeared in the first Rocky film as an often-teased favorite pet of Balboa’s who lived in Adrian’s pet shop. In the Film, Butkus was given to Rocky as a gift from Adrian to keep him company while he trained. In real life however, Butkus was Sylvester Stallone's dog. Stallone took the 145-pound (61 Kg) Butkus on the three-day train trip from L.A. to Philadelphia for the exterior filming of the film. The Bullmastiff’s rough look went well with the rough look, that the movie offered. Bullmastiffs are exceptionally devoted to their owners and make great guard dogs and pets as well.
