Biography
Coco has lived a very hard life. His age is a guess. He could be more like 12. Rather hard to tell from his teeth, since he only has one. It is solid but migrated to the center of the lower jaw kind of like a tusk. Maybe instead of Coco he should be called Rhino? His gray hair is not too much for a distinguished older guy. He is very underweight. He was living with a homeless man and the cops sent the homeless guy to a shelter and Coco went to doggie jail. The workers there felt sorry for him and let him stay in the office wrapped in a blankie. Healthwise he is in pretty good shape. No reason to think he wont be hanging around a while longer especially now that he has access to good food and health care. He is a verbal active guy, with lots of naps, and very demanding about food! Hey I would be too if I was used to eating out of garbage cans and such. If you hear him "honking" which is what his bark sounds like, he wants FOOD! Maybe that is another little trick he learned on the streets. Anyway if you want to give a home to a really sweet needy old man, Coco is great for you!
