Rico is a charming senior fellow who has endured a hard life before being rescued from Mexico at age nine. For the first nine years of his life, he lived outdoors and survived being hit by a car and also, sadly, a severe blow to his sweet little face, which resulted in the loss of his right eye. But those days of hard living are far behind him and now he is adored by his adopted family, who take every opportunity to dote upon him and give him all the creature comforts he’s never had. These days, Rico loves snuggling, burrowing under the covers, and playing with his nine year old human brother and 3-year old canine sister. He’s dapper, dignified, and downright adorable – from his one rootbeer brown eye to his wirey chest hair, he is truly one in a kind.
