He made friends with all the other neighborhood dogs and we would get complaints from the neighbors that he was in their yards or would help their dogs get out too lol.
His excursions caused him to get hit by a car about 5 times before he finally "ran away" one night and never came home. At least that was the story, until about 6 months ago when my dad finally let it spill that he hadn't run away at all! Actually, my dad took him to this farm where he drove by one day and saw 4 other dogs of the same breed roaming around. He figured Pinto deserved a life of happiness on the farm as opposed to being locked up in a yard in the city.
Anyway, this is our dog now. Her name is Maiko, like the shark since we got her in San Jose, love the San Jose Sharks, and she's grey with a white belly like a shark. She's a bluenose pit bull and she's 9 years old now. She's the sweetest thing really. She was the runt, so she stayed pretty small, roughly about 60 pounds.
