Meet Swanky Pet: Enrico!

This is Enrico, the American Pit Bull Cow who lives in Manchester, CT. It's amazing how well his I Need More Cowbell collar matches his spots! Enrico's mom, Heather tells us a little about him:

Likes: running. running. running into traffic with no regards to his life. cheese, walks, most dogs, his best friend Jet, a teacup yorkie, his collars, belly rubs, people (adults and behaved older children), flowers, sneaking onto my bed at night, tv, his training classes, and almost everything.
Dislikes: vacuums, metal water bowls, small loud children (a fear we are working on), water.

"I saw this little guy in an add online when he was about 1 week old. One of two white dogs in the whole litter. With the two black spots on his back, and his black legs he looked just like a baby cow. This poor guy entered my life at 6 weeks old. He was living in a pile of hay on a dirt basement floor. He was full of worms and had never seen a vet. We went straight from the "breeders" right to the vet. I'm not quite sure what they did to this beautiful dog, but he has some very unreasonable strange fears. He has been attending classes with an amazing dog trainer who even comes to the house to work with him and help him with his fears and now loves other dogs. He actually goes up to them and licks them to death. Enrico is just the sweetest dog. He also has a special way of going down the stairs. Every day he lays down at the top, stretches out his arms and legs and actually slides all the way down on his belly, then sits on the bottom step looking back at me with his tongue hanging out and a giant smile on his face. It cracks me up every time. I just couldn't imagine what would have happened to my little cow boy if I hadn't taken him away from his horrible living situation. When I found this cow collar on your website I was sooo excited and loved that it even came with a cowbell! Now he is offcially a cow dog. He wears it with such pride and loves to hear the bell jingling away as he walks, runs, and prances around. Thank you so much!"
