Meet Pinto: Professional Chewer, Adorable Dog

This is Pinto, a 16-month-old Rottie/Shepherd cross with two great loves in life:

1. Balls
2. Absolutely destroying anything that isn't a ball

Some people say Pinto is a dog. Others suspect he's actually three beavers standing on each other's shoulders inside a dog suit, operating under a very convincing canine cover identity.

Evidence includes:

• One mysteriously shortened table leg.
• Several toys that lasted approximately 11 minutes.
• A suspicious level of interest in anything made of wood.
• The fact that he approaches every object as if asking, "But have we tried chewing it?"

Pinto firmly believes that all possessions fall into one of two categories:

1. Balls to chase.
2. Things that could become smaller if he worked hard enough.

Despite his ongoing campaign against furniture, footwear, cardboard, sticks, and the structural integrity of household items, he's also an expert cuddler, a champion goofball, and the owner of a face that somehow says, "I regret nothing, and I'd do it again."

We may never know whether Pinto is truly a dog or a highly organized beaver collective. What we do know is that life is never boring, no ball is safe from being chased, and no object is safe from a thorough taste test.

16 months old, 100% lovable chaos, and approximately 87% teeth.
