"When he was younger, he used to love roaming my parents' enormous
backyard in Manhattan Beach with our other dogs, going for leash-free walks in
Venice, going for head-out-the-window drives along the coast while blasting
music, or running about on the golf course in La Quinta.

"He always preferred the large dog park over the little one. Gino took
pride in the fact that large dogs would follow him around like he was their
fearless leader. He always exuded "big dog energy," or BDE."

the credit," Gino's hooman said. "He's gotten a lot of love, and I
think he's just a strong dog."
