Dawg Life
"Dawg life was a gang, or what some called a gang, involving people that primarily were associated with, or grew up on the southeast part of South Bend," Dosmann said. "I remember, probably in the mid 1990's, that there was an investigation that was conducted by federal law enforcement, in conjunction with state and local law enforcement targeting the dawg life gang."

Testimony showed that Dawg Life began in the early 1990s as the Southeast Side Dogs street gang, operating in specific territory on the southeast side of South Bend, Indiana. The gang was involved in the sale of illegal drugs, particularly cocaine, both on the street and from certain gang-operated crack houses. The price paid to acquirecocaine depended on the amount the member could sell as well as his rank in the gang. The more cocaine a member sold, the lower the price he paid. Certain crack houses were controlled by Dawg Life, with only members allowed to sell drugs from the house.
