Move over, James Durbin. You’re not the only star in Santa Cruz. There’s also Coco, a miniature porkie (half pug and half Yorkie), who will be taking to the airwaves on Univision’s “Dogs Who Look Like Their Owners” contest.
Move over, James Durbin. You’re not the only star in Santa Cruz. There’s also Coco, a miniature porkie (half pug and half Yorkie), who will be taking to the airwaves on Univision’s “Dogs Who Look Like Their Owners” contest.
“Coco is obese, with bulging eyes, a Mohawk, wiry gray fur and makes little pig-like snorting sounds,” says Rafael Torres-Gil, the owner of Coco. It actually makes him wonder what his wife thinks of him, especially since she enrolled the dog—and her husband—in the contest.
Still, Torres-Gil loves Coco and is proud to fly to Miami to participate on Sabado Gigante, the longest-running variety show in the world. “She’s a great little dog,” he says. She is also something of a local star, having performed in the Cabrillo Stage production of The Wizard of Oz.
So let’s see what we have here: another local star with a Mohawk, or rather a fauxhawk. James Durbin really has competition after all. Read more at NBC Bay Area.
