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 indepth 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 cofounder 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 Cofounder, 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."
