About Us

Yogi is a 7 year old black pug with a chilled out personality and a tongue that just
won't quit! No one really knows why Yogi's tongue sticks out, but some speculate
that he may have suffered a mild stroke as a puppy. Whatever the reason, Yogi
has persevered and he doesn't seem to mind it one bit! Besides for making a
mess when he eats and picking up a little dirt and fuzz when he sniffs the
ground, Yogi doesn't even know that his tongue is broken. Yogi was rescued 4
years ago from a family that could no longer care for him and has been very
happy living in Arlington, Virginia. Yogi is a very chilled out dude and will sleep
most of the day. His tongue even hangs out when he sleeps! Some of Yogi's likes
are: keepin' it real, licking stuff, long romantic walks on the beach, snacks, and
chillin' with friends. Some of Yogi's favorite hang outs are: The Georgetown
Waterfront, Times Square, The Front Page (Arlington), and A.K.A Spot Pet Shop
in Arlington, VA.

You may have seen Yogi recently on TV shows like The CBS Early Show, The
Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC and on NBC webcasts.   Kelly Ripa
stopped and stared in amazement at Yogi's large tongue and cute little face in
the streets of NYC. Yogi was also the featured video on www.youtube.com! Yogi
has also appeared in a local film called Evil Deeds, is the Spokes Dog for
FranklyRealty.com, is an actor for The Human Element Project, and was asked
to audition for a Pizza Hut commercial last summer. Yogi will also be the star
character in a children's book to be released this fall entitled "When Yogi Ran
For President... a True Underdog Tail (oops !) TALE!" But don't worry, Yogi's
brush with 15 seconds of fame hasn't changed him one bit... he's still the most
chillin dude on the block!

So the next time life gets a little tough and you think you got a raw deal, just
think about Yogi and say to yourself, "when life breaks your tongue,
keep on lickin!"
