Introducing the rat- I mean dog

Meet the rat

Introducing Tino, the Chihuahua hybrid with something else. We don't actually know. But he is close to the rodent family. 

This is a full-body view just to show you how small he is. He's sitting on my dad's lap cause he's lazy. He's also 11 pounds. I could use him as a weight.

This was taken about a year ago. He hasn't grown.

Now here's him seeing a turtle for the first time, and he's confused. As far as he knows, there are only three life forms: human (slave), dog (friend), and squirrel (rival). This also happened to be on my birthday last year.

The turtle obviously didn't want to meet him. Go figure.

Next is him being a sleepy idiot. Did I mention he loves soft things? He'll seek out the softest, fluffiest blanket in the house and sit on it. There is no surface in our house that is not covered in dog fur. In this picture, he is also sleeping on my sister's hoodie. 

I like to wake him up by tickling him. Call me a monster. 

Next is a photo taken just at the right moment. Credits to my dad.

I'm pretty sure in this moment my dad had food in his hand. Just another example of how Tino is a lying manipulator who only pretends to love us. 

Now we have photo evidence of him committing robbery. He's sleeping on MY bean bag that I got for MY tenth birthday. Even his blanket's on there! 

This is unfair. Even my sister loves him more than she loves me. 

Now we have my personal favorite photo. No caption needed.

This could be a meme template. 

Lastly, we have him in my old shirt. I don't think he was very comfortable. 

Now he has style.

Some more info:

We got him February 11, 2018, which is near Valentine's Day, hence why we named him Valentino. It was my mom who named him actually, which is ironic, because she hardly interacts with him. We don't know his actual birthday but it was sometime in June. 

We took a DNA test and it turns out he is 60% a lying, thieving backstabber, 20% fur, 10% rat and 10% air. After careful observation I have concluded there is nothing going on in his brain except elevator music. 

He also should have been the Chihuahua in that old Taco Bell ad- you know the one? Where the dog goes "yo quiero Taco Bell". Look it up. 

Comment here if you think Tino should replace that dog and make a new ad. If we get 1000 signatures I'll lobby it to Taco Bell. 

Let me know if you want a second chapter- I have more pictures of him embarrassing himself.
