Laliotis: Zoey for sure, she is hyper and always wanting to play and eat Bruno's food.

Patch: How did he get his long name?

Laliotis: They are all our last names, me, hubby and mom. We like to think that Bruno is a family dog and he kind of "belongs" to all of us. Plus in the Spanish culture, its very common for kids to take both parents last name. I called him that one day, and it just stuck. I think it's funny.

Patch: Favorite song or TV show? 

Laliotis: Anything on the Animal Planet.  Bruno loves to watch TV.

Patch: What did he get for Christmas?

Laliotis: Some doggie snacks and a plush toy bone.

Patch: If your dog were an ice cream flavor what would it be? 

Laliotis: Hazelnut Gelato.

Patch: Favorite place to take a nap?

Laliotis: Behind mama's legs on the couch.

Patch: Favorite place to walk or play?

Laliotis: Bruno prefers lounging and staying in the air conditioner.

Patch: What is his favorite snack or treat?

Laliotis: Bacon Beggin' strips.

Patch: What tricks can he do?

Laliotis: We do the tricks for Bruno.

Patch: Do your dog beg for table-scraps? If so, does he have a favorite?

Laliotis: Yes, he stares while one is eating...unfortunately, no scraps for him as he has a sensitive tummy.

Patch: Does he get along with cats?

Laliotis: I think so, I don't think he has ever been around a cat.
