Meet Hulk, the aptly-named pit bull who outweighs most of his human family!

NEW HAMPSHIRE (WIT) – Meet Hulk! The aptly-named pit bull is only a year-and-a-half old, but he outweighs most of his human family!

He lives in New Hampshire on a 150-acre, family-owned kennel that breeds and trains American Pit Bull Terriers as protection dogs, called Dark Dynasty K9s.

"I want to emphasize that we breed and train dogs who come in stable. Our goal is to make these dogs fearless for the intimidation factor that protection dogs need to have, not for them to be uncontrolled and maul or bite anyone. That is improper training," Hulk's owner, Marlon Grannan told ABC News.

Despite his size, his family says Hulk is actually a big softie. He regularly sings and naps with the family’s three-year-old and even takes him for rides.

According to ABC News,  his family hopes that Hulk’s fame will help to educate the public on pit bulls and the misconceptions that surround the breed. His owner calls Hulk the ultimate babysitter and says the dog is just “so, so sweet."

"He's a wonderful, excellently trained dog. He plays with my kid, he's great with the family and he's so, so sweet. Because pit bulls are only in the media when bad things happen, this myth of them as monsters gets perpetuated but it's not true. They might not be for everyone, but under a good leader and with proper training, they make amazing family and work or protection dogs," Marlon Grannan said.
