Chico Bello

<p>I've led a dog's life and I want to tell you about it. Though people think I can only express myself with Woof Woof I have a lot more to say. Born with good breeding in wintry Wisconsin my first name was Baron Maximilian von Ox IV. Of course that was far too fancy a handle for a cute pup like me. After being caged and buried in the guts of a giant plane I made the acquaintance of my parents in Florida. Since I arrived on Valentine's Day Mom wanted to name me Valentino. Dad didn't accept calling me such a sissy name. I became Chico. This is the tale of my adventurous life during the next twelve years. Sadly I didn't live to be quite an octogenarian. I wished people would learn to appreciate my codes of communication. C'est la vie. But this is my story and I'm sticking to it!</p>
