I got to work with Dave Bautista as his handler over a two day period. The way you see him here is exactly how he is in person; incredibly kind, quiet, genuine, humble and considerate of everyone. He is legitimately a good human being.
I agree. He was one of my clients just as he was debuting in the WWE. I met him before I saw him in the ring and it was like night and day his character vs his gentle and kind personality. I’ve been rooting for his success since then. The fact that he is rescuing and adopting dogs, especially pit bulls, makes me love him even more.
@@decepticonmecha this was long before he was an actor, and before he was even a big WWE star. I worked with sever of the WWE wrestlers, both well known and unknown, and he was by far the nicest and most generous. He had absolutely no reason to be kind to me or anyone else in our office.
@@StephieFaithI'm delighted to hear that the big guys are often teddy bears in public away from their personas in the ring. Even more so if they're passionate animal lovers. Thank you for sharing your experiences! ☺️
Dave Bautista is the perfect example of what masculinity should be, protective, warm, empathetic, kind, strong, loving, humble and secure in oneself and those qualities. Truly an inspiration, and should be an inspiration to all men. Also pitties are fantastic dogs and I'm so glad he's picked this breed to rescue, they get so much undeserved hatred.
And all of those qualities are hot af. This is what makes men attractive, not the TrustMeBro AlphaIncel types who think it's about money and being addicted to the gym.
@apbtthebest4049 Pit Bulls run the gamut of sizes and shapes. Read the UKC standards. Short and stocky to tall and lanky. My family bred Pits going back to over 100 years ago. We bred Colby lines. I've seen you copy/paste the same comment on other videos with Pit Bulls, you're just an idiot.
@@chadmyron2552 the only and real pit bull is the American Pit Bull Terrier. The English Staff ( England ) and the Irish Dog known as the Old Family ( Ireland) created the Pit Bull . Once those dogs were imported to America. The Dogs were bred together to create the Pit Bull and Chauncey Bennet ( United Kennel Club) register them as the American Pit Bull Terrier in 1898 .
You're right.. dogs shouldn't be "weapons" however, there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with having a dog trained for protection.. Of course, that includes REAL training. If a dog's just aggressive and wants to attack everyone, that's NOT a protection dog.. that's a liability !
@@deadpanturtle Dog intelligence can't be compared to human intelligence/emotion.. For one, dogs are FAR smarter & second, they aren't people.. I don't think ANYONE would support sending a child to war lol. But , a dog trained to protect, is FAR from a "child at war" and it isn't really even a logical comparison... I'm fully capable of protecting myself & my family.. but I also work ! If I'm not home, I at least know my dogs are going to do whatever they need in order to keep my family safe!! If course, NOBODY wants their dog to get hurt or killed by some crazy person breaking in.. But, would you rather it be a child ? Or a dog ? I'm picking the dog everytime !! The 70 something year old lady down the road could have been brutally assaulted/robbed and even killed if her dog wasn't trained to "protect" her.. She doesn't own guns & couldn't handle one if she did & OBVIOUSLY can't fight off 2 adult/younger drug addicts in her own.. should she just give up life & check into a nursing/old folks home instead? I understand YOU don't have the need for a protection dog & don't agree with it . But, they do have their place and AREN'T just "disposable tools" they're still family members !
Once the strike is over, I hope someone writes a movie for Dave of a vampire hunting cowboy accompanied by 4x sweet doggos who give emotional support to the hero, and snuggle & hide with the people the hunter protects.
He has four rescue pitties, bought his place specifically so they would have room to run and not be able to tear stuff up, has dinosaur statues on his yard, and wrote into his latest acting contract that he has to be able to bring his dogs. I knew there was a reason I loved him.
Met Dave in 2005 when I was ten, outside a pizza shop in Boston before a wrestling show. Saw him across the street and asked my old man if we could go ask him for an autograph and my dad was totally not into crossing the street to go bother this behemoth of a man, but he swallowed his pride and brought me over there and asked him for me. Dave was very quiet and not particularly warm in an outward way, (probably got hounded constantly and was traveling non stop, so not making a judgement, actually seemed kinda shy about the whole thing ) but he wasn't too big of a star to sign an autograph outside a pizza shop before for a ten year old fan and his dad. Told him good luck against Triple H and gave me a smirk and a pat on the back and thanked me. Solid ass dude that gave me a a cool memory for life. +rep for being a pit bull dad. Love this guy forever.
That Dave loves his dogs so much he thought to have them trained to hide in case of an intruder or something is just so heart warming. We hear all these stories about dogs protecting their humans from all sorts of things, sometimes to the dog's detriment, so having a human think of protecting the dogs first just makes my heart so full.
Especially with the horror stories of cops walking into someone’s property & shooting dogs on sight regardless if the dog is doing nothing. It just makes sense in today’s society, sadly.
Sin shortens life, because of our sins we are separated from God.There is nothing in this world worth going to hellfire for. Repent of your sins and be born again, Jesus Christ is coming back everyone. It's about a relationship with Jesus Christ NOT religion/denomination. We have a relationship with Jesus Christ by repenting of all of our sins, praying and reading the Bible everyday, believe the gospel of Jesus Christ and be born again.
@@MaryLovesJesus You do you, boo, but not everyone believes in the same gods as you do - some none at all - so you can’t be so presumptuous as to speak for all of us. Have a good day.
The fact that he trained his dogs to hide just shows an unsurmountable love for them. Especially with the way pitties are often framed as being aggressive.
i adopted my first rescue 8 months ago, and a DNA test says she’s 90% pit bull. she’s one of the most emotionally aware, gentle, sweet dogs i’ve ever met. she’s completely sold me on bully breeds. raise em right, as most of us want to, and they’re absolutely wonderful. also, teaching them to run and hide is an *excellent* idea. i’m filing that away!
I feel Batista's "pain" over his pup getting concerned when he gets upset. I can't even play video games around my pittie anymore. If I yell at the TV she runs over to make sure I'm ok 😂😂
For years I have only know Dave Batista to be the biggest guy with a heart just as big. His love for dogs, his desire to be in a RomCom (Would pay all the money to see that movie) and his amazing career out of wrestling and movie making. This was just that good food for my brain. 12/10.
Dave is such a gentle giant ❤.. I am a 64 year old, husband, father and grandpa. I have been rescuing dogs since I was 7 years old. My kind of rescue is different. When I see a dog loose, I have to stop what I’m doing, and get a leash around it and get it back home. Because dogs are not meant to be loose in traffic. I carry dog treats and a couple rope leashes. I stopped counting at 100 dogs back home 20 years ago. You throw the treats to them and be patient and try to get them to come to you. I have had a dog or 2 since I was born. I have never bought a dog. Bless you big dave and this channel!
To any young men watching. This is what you should aspire to be as a man. Not Andrew Take or the like filled with hate, misogyny and ridicule for others but rather a good, kind hearted, empathetic, caring, giving, sweet man who can still be masculine in the traditional sense of lifting weights, fighting and loving sports cars but possesses the qualities that make for a fantastic human being. Dave is up there with Keanu Reeves as what young men should aspire to be.
I thought I couldn’t appreciate Dave more, but seeing him with his dogs with their big happy tongues & his awesome lawn sculptures has made him even more admirable ❤
Damn it! Here comes the tears 😢 My first Pitty was only 4 weeks when we got him. He had been tossed out a sunroof of a car going about 60 miles an hour. Beanie was our life. My twins and just started kindergarten and he never left their side from that day until the day he passed over the rainbow bridge from kidney disease 😔 He was a true ambassador for the breed.
I love the part where he talks about how he trained his pitbulls to go and hide if someone broke in because he didnt want his pitties to get hurt. I thought that beautiful, a truely selfless act of compassion.
Pit bulls are such beautiful dogs and they suit Dave Batista completely because he is just like a giant pit bull, looks scary but is just so sweet and loving and smart just like they are
@@GrChBarracuda Guess you don't know much about dog breeds then. Also, lellyt2372 was comparing Dave to a pitbull. Before you reply to another comment, make sure that you read it right and actually understand what they are talking about, because you clearly don't know how.
I worked with Dave Bautista's mom Donna years ago. He was nice enough to personally sign a WWE poster of himself for me. His love of dogs makes me an even bigger fan of his.
I am a dog walker and love to see a big celebrity talking about adopting dogs and specially pitbull. I constantly see how people react negatively when I am walking them but in reality they are the sweetest dogs.
It’s from the stigma that them and rotts are the dogs used most in dogfighting also because a pit bull jaw is like tiger sharks once it gets a hold something they are hard to pry off but in reality people forget dogs are animals any dog breed can be dangerous under certain circumstances
His dogs are so sweet and so friendly 🥰🥰🥰🥰 He's totally right in that they are so misunderstood. I've met a few and they were always so sweet. ANY dog can be dangerous, it's all in how they are raised, trained, and treated that makes a difference.
Dave, this was the top in introducing your family PitBulls, they are gorgeous and thank you for loving them and showing the world how great PitBulls are. We do not deserve dogs, yet Thankfully they are part of our lives. I'm a Rottie and Australian Cattle dog lady, wanted to share a bit with you and other dog lovers, along with my sweet ADOPTED Aspen whom I trained for Service. Thank you!!! Awesome >>>>UUUU!!
And the interviewer does as well. He noticed when the puppy was going to get tangled in the leash and fixed it before it became an issue. Attentive dog people, both of them.
Dave Bautista has a kind heart and is very humble. I saw him in Santa Monica at night, pulled over and called his name. He took the time to have a conversation with me and my friend, talk about bodybuilding and took a picture with us.
I respect him for adopting pitties. My daughter adopted Vera, her pittie, and traveled around the country she saved my daughter was saved by a predator who attacked her. She and Vera have settled in Oregon.Thank God.
Dave is one of those guys that started in wrestling, and now has broken out of that and is becoming or is an amazing actor with a lot of depth to the characters he plays.
Dude the way he instantly turns into Bautista the wrestler for 5 seconds is incredible. That’s is truly having “it”. Plus everything else in this vid. What a guy!
Dave Batista is easily the best actor of any wrestler ever. And I mean purely in performance, his range and emotion is near Oscar territory, you can see him getting there some day.
Every interview I see with Dave just makes me like and respect him even more. A mountain of a man who's spent his life playing "big scary dude who could snap in you in half" when he's actually a gentle giant. Completely agree with his "adopt don't shop" philosophy. I've had dogs all my life and they've all been rescue's.
It’s refreshing to see such a famous man NOT full of himself! His dogs are unashamedly paramount in his life as he continually strives to improve professionally. What a wonderful wholesome chat between dog lovers! Incidentally, I suggest Dwayne Johnson and Henry Cavil, possibly POTUS!
This is easily the most heartwarming video I've seen all year! WELL DONE! I'm such a fan of Dave Bautista's work but especially after learning of all he does to rescue dogs and advocate rescue. I still remember what he did a few years ago for the dog found with the chain embedded and it was just so wonderful to see her thriving and featured here. He's truly amazing. My new celebrity crush! God bless you, Dave! And yes, please we need a rom-com with Dave and a vampire movie! He'd crush both!
Every single day of my life for the last 4 decades I've had pitbulls. And along with them kittens by the dozens that I saved and my pitbulls love them so much. And the cats are the boss make no mistake
It's not often you go to the comments on UA-cam and see no negativity or assholes whatsoever, it's quite refreshing if you ask me. Dave really is a great guy.
My rescue dog Penny also had an embedded chain in her neck. Like Bautista's Penny, ours is the sweetest, most loving and amazing dog baby ever. ♡ It's refreshing seeing a strong human being so compassionate and loving towards his rescue babies like this. ♡♡♡
I was in Tampa on vacation when Pennys story hit the news down there and I followed the story even after I returned home and it made my heart so happy that after such a crap experience she was going to have a chance at an amazing life with Dave
"We' too have saved a lot of dogs over the years. We have a Pit, Luna Beam we saved 2 years ago. And just today a dog my wife fostered for 2 months was returned and we decided to keep him. The woman had him one day. Leo was one of 85 dogs that were saved from one home in Mansfield, Ohio. A lot of them that had been adopted were returned. For lack of a better description, they're almost feral. But we worked with Leo and he did get better. So now we finish the adventure. Great interview.
Always loved him as a wrestler. Now have a new respect for him. Takes a big heart to take on the task of rescuing bully’s. We have three pit rescues and they are the most loving breed ever. Thank you !
Dave Bautista radiates pitbull energy in the best way
yes!!! ❤
💯💯💯💯 looks tough, best on the couch snuggling
he has a big heart and one of my role models
Hes never murdered and children
@apbtthebest4049wrong
This massive, trained-to-fight human has 4 pitbulls and he trained them to run and stay safe. That's love right there.
Dude had a rough early life; the fact he's this gentle and willing to show vulnerability is a testament to the work he did on himself since then

Brutal story dont know if i would like him to play judge 😂
He could play The Judge!
Dave is one of those guys that started in wrestling, and now has broken out of that and is becoming or is an amazing actor with a lot of depth to the characters he plays.
Dude the way he instantly turns into Bautista the wrestler for 5 seconds is incredible. That’s is truly having “it”. Plus everything else in this vid. What a guy!
Dave Batista is easily the best actor of any wrestler ever. And I mean purely in performance, his range and emotion is near Oscar territory, you can see him getting there some day.
Every interview I see with Dave just makes me like and respect him even more. A mountain of a man who's spent his life playing "big scary dude who could snap in you in half" when he's actually a gentle giant. Completely agree with his "adopt don't shop" philosophy. I've had dogs all my life and they've all been rescue's.
It’s refreshing to see such a famous man NOT full of himself! His dogs are unashamedly paramount in his life as he continually strives to improve professionally. What a wonderful wholesome chat between dog lovers! Incidentally, I suggest Dwayne Johnson and Henry Cavil, possibly POTUS!
Dave, if anyone ever reads these comments I can say you are an angel for dogs especially pitbulls.
❤ Pitbull love is unlike any other. Dave gets it. Much love and blessings to you, Dave.
I love how Dave Bautista loves his dogs. It speaks volumes about what kind of human he is. The best.
Blessings on you David aloha from Hawaii for caring for the pits!!!!!!’they are the best !!!!!
This is easily the most heartwarming video I've seen all year! WELL DONE! I'm such a fan of Dave Bautista's work but especially after learning of all he does to rescue dogs and advocate rescue. I still remember what he did a few years ago for the dog found with the chain embedded and it was just so wonderful to see her thriving and featured here.
He's truly amazing. My new celebrity crush! God bless you, Dave! And yes, please we need a rom-com with Dave and a vampire movie! He'd crush both!
My experience with pitbulls has always been that they are absolute sweethearts.
Everytime I listen to Dave in an interview, I am amazed by how softspoken, shy and sweet this huge guy comes across. Really cool dude.
I give Dave and his doggos 12/10. Very good.
Every single day of my life for the last 4 decades I've had pitbulls. And along with them kittens by the dozens that I saved and my pitbulls love them so much. And the cats are the boss make no mistake
Respect for this man: +100 points
It's not often you go to the comments on UA-cam and see no negativity or assholes whatsoever, it's quite refreshing if you ask me.
Dave really is a great guy.
My rescue dog Penny also had an embedded chain in her neck. Like Bautista's Penny, ours is the sweetest, most loving and amazing dog baby ever. ♡
It's refreshing seeing a strong human being so compassionate and loving towards his rescue babies like this. ♡♡♡
I love Dave Bautista. Very good actor but more importantly a kind man.
I didn't think I could love Dave anymore. And yet here we are. More love ❤️ with those furry babies
I was in Tampa on vacation when Pennys story hit the news down there and I followed the story even after I returned home and it made my heart so happy that after such a crap experience she was going to have a chance at an amazing life with Dave
"We' too have saved a lot of dogs over the years. We have a Pit, Luna Beam we saved 2 years ago. And just today a dog my wife fostered for 2 months was returned and we decided to keep him. The woman had him one day. Leo was one of 85 dogs that were saved from one home in Mansfield, Ohio. A lot of them that had been adopted were returned. For lack of a better description, they're almost feral. But we worked with Leo and he did get better. So now we finish the adventure. Great interview.
Don’t know why I clicked on this but I’m glad I did. Knew Dave was a great person but this makes him even greater.
One of the most wholesome video in a long time…
Pit bulls have the sweetest faces. They look so happy!
Code word to protect his dogs?!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ GODDAMN IT BAUTISTA! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
Nothing but respect for Dave. He truly deserves all the success he's had, and the dogs deserve all the love too
Such a chill kind man what a legend
Dave is the epitome of what a real man is. Strong man, big heart!🐾❤🐾
Always liked Mr. Bautista as an actor, but watching him with his dogs made my heart go splat. What a lovely, lovely man!!
Dave is such a gentle giant ❤
I love this movie! 🍿
Dave x Matt + adopted pit bulls = Best Crew Ever 🥹
Not pitbulls
What a genuinely good human! Those dogs couldnt be in a better place.
Genuinely a kind and caring soul love him even more for how he treats animals
Hello 👋 how are you doing over there?
Always loved him as a wrestler. Now have a new respect for him. Takes a big heart to take on the task of rescuing bully’s. We have three pit rescues and they are the most loving breed ever. Thank you !
Amazing, the video ID even has Aww in it 😊
