Dog of the day: Macchia the Dalmatian.

Today’s featured dog is Macchia the Dalmation. He is 1 year old. Skills include sitting, laying down, hand-shaking, active listening, negotiation, and nonverbal communication. Interests include eating random things on the street. Never wears the same thing twice. Instagram is https://www.instagram.com/mr.spotsalot/?hl=en. Fluent in English and Italian, just like his mother Alice (not pronounced like the American “AL-ISS” but in Italian so that it sounds like “ceviche” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScZEb_0ROKg). I met both of them last weekend at Il Piccolo.

Alice has some art and COVID-related posts that you’ll see on the front page soon. Also, she floated the idea of making a dog park out of the vacant lot on 29th and 10th. I’m sort of taken with the idea and am looking into it.
