But hey, being a youngster with some big shoes to fill is no problem for Hero! He's very good at making his presence known at the Pesce household in San Pedro, California, where he lives with Tony, Doreen, Swissy house mates Chyna and ½ sister Paris, Joey the Sun Conure, and "Mr. Lucky" the hamster (doesn't know how lucky he is, I'm sure, that he hasn't been mistaken for a squeaky toy!).

Typically mischievous, Hero's already found the best way to get a game of chase going with Paris is to bite her tail - works every time, and she's always "it!" He also loves the kiddie pool, and apparently is quite the ham when it comes to photo shoots. That particular talent comes in handy, since one of Doreen's favorite pastimes is photography. Matter of fact, Hero's getting so good at posing (milkbones and cheese are great puppy motivators) That he's considering a career in modeling or acting! Wouldn't this guy look great on the big screen - he certainly has the smile and a perfect stage name!

Rumor has it that he'll be up for our Cascade Specialty in September, so be sure and stop them and say "CHEESE!"
