Frankie never got the chance to meet his father Frank. Frankie’s mother Maria also owned a Rottweiler, but when she found out that she was pregnant, she gave her dog of 5 years away. She had known the dog was not nice at times and although it was very hard to give away her pet, She wanted her child safe. After Frank , “Frankie’s Father” died about a month later Frankie’s Mother, Maria Flora was laying in bed, devastated about her husbands death and became feeling very ill then became very itchy from head to toe. She called her doctor who then told her to get to the doctors office immediately . When arriving , the doctor examined her, then he explained to Mrs. Flora that Frankie could be still born.
