Today's dog featured in Dogtown Vancouver is Vito, Kathleen M's pup. Here's what she had to say about him...

BREED: Lagotto Romagnolo.

HOOD: Kits.

FAVOURITE SNACK: He'll do anything for a dried chicken liver or lamb lung snack. But most of all, he loves socks and shoes.

OTHER INFO: This is Vito, the Lagotto Romagnolo, otherwise known as Italian Water Dog. It is an ancient breed, but it almost died out until a doctor decided to breed it back into health. Around the mid-1990s they made a comeback. They are now bred as truffle-hunters. They are high energy, super-smart, and hypo-allergenic.

Vito is 2 years old and lives in Kits after spending his first six months in Portland, Oregon, and then Mt. Pleasant. The only thing he likes more than chasing a ball is jumping into the sea. He swims like an otter, tirelessly and vigorously. He loves to lie on the socks and shoes of family members who leave the house.
