I gotta weigh in on this one more time, I don't think DMX has ever been reported to be connected with dog fighting, in fact I'm pretty sure he loves dogs and many times has said so in his songs, the problem lies in the fact that he is an incompetant owner... which is not the same as a malicious owner. He wants to be around them but is mentally ill and incapable of making the rational decisions required to care for an animal.
