Maybe we should have named him Stanley Hans

When Rocco the Wonder dog was a puppy, he lived in this odd puppy store where all the pups were together in pens in the floor and would rollic and frolic and all that stuff puppies do. Rocco the wonder dog was picked on by the other puppies all the time which is why the ex girlfriend chose him. The other puppies wouldn't even let him eat till they were done and so Rocco has a passion for food. Today he has topped all of the weird, watermelon, grapes, broccoli eats of his and not only ate but ASKED for the plate with the SAUERKRAUT on it! And he ate it all! Younger son says that sauerraut keeps you from getting bird flu so I suppose Rocco won't be sprouting feathers any time soon.

When I say that rocco asks, that is just what he does. If he wants something, he gets our attention and then does his damnedest to make us understand what he wants. If it's reachable he butts it with his nose, if not, he stares at whatever it is occasionally shooting looks at us to see if we are getting it or not. Even more remarkable, he won't eat something unless you say he can. I think that the reason why he doesn't steal is that we share things with him, so he knows he'll get it if he's simply charming enough. And for a dog who brings to mind Scooby Doo with those half folded ears, he can be charming. Just ask his girlfriend Eloise Matilda (nee stuffed gorilla).

Rocco eats spaghetti too so I guess the name will stick. Rocco the Wonder dog!
