Chewbacca

Gallery Dog (Part Time)

When he's not eating sausages, Chewbacca the Chow Chow, loves nothing better than watching the comings and goings at Oil.

Chewy has a penchant for all things oriental, befitting his East Asian ancestry which goes back over 8,000 years to ancient China, Tibet and Mongolia, where the Chow Chow's legendary loyalty and robustness was put to good use guarding ancient kings and Buddhist temples.

Chows are highly intelligent, extremely strong, independent, very furry and they possess an unusually coloured, dark blue tongue.

 

 

Chewy's a handsome and friendly chap, but he can be a bit reserved around strangers. He enjoys fast, hilly walks, swimming and mud - lots and lots of mud - and with a natural walking pace of 6 or 7 mph, he keeps his loving family fit and the morale at Oil, joyful.
