I don't always rob banks
22 December 2022
But when I do, it's dobermans all the way, baby! Ten stars for the beautiful pups who are the stars here.

The Doberman Gang is basically a dog show with a side story about bank robbery. We've all seen loads of movies about bank robbers, but Jesse James, the Daltons and John Dillinger all pale in comparison to the handsome lads pulling off capers in this film. In fact, if Jesse James had teamed up with a doberman gang, he'd still be alive today and would still be working as a successful bank robber.

This film was an inspiration for my brothers and I when we were young fellas trying to decide what to do when we grew up. Once we saw The Doberman Gang we were all in on starting our own doberman gang. We were certain we'd have no problem finding a bunch of dobermans to join us in a career full of adventure and larceny. We argued some... whether we could justify putting the dogs in harm's way (we decided the dobermans would feel it's worth the risk, given the adventure aspect of the job); we discussed whether we'd stick to just banks or whether we'd branch out to drug dens. Traveler Caravans and mob-controlled card games (we decided to diversify - too risky to put all our eggs in one basket) Looking back, of course it was silly, but in our defence, we were in our early 30s and still full of wide-eyed wonder and drunk with robbery-lust.

In the end, all 8 of us ended up doing some bank work, though sadly sans dobermans. We've paid our debts now and we're free to travel without reporting in to a PO, but we still hold dear the dreams of our youth.

One caveat though: You will be overwhelmed by cuteness. Having seen this movie more than 20 times I still want to hug the stuffings out of these doggies and kiss them on the head. I can't imagine how the actors were able to stay in character.
