More: I had a very scary start to life! You see, mom rescued me last year through from the meat trade in China. Can you believe they wanted to eat me!? My gotcha-day is February 14th, so that’s how I got my name, Valentino (Tino for short). She also calls me her “little wool bear”. I love being held AT ALL TIMES by my mama, unless I’m eating or chasing a ball. And yes, my tongue pretty much always does that, but my mom says it adds to by boyish good looks!
