Pecorino

The dog Pecorino was born on March 15, 1998 near Verona. Toni Anzenberger took the mixed breed puppy in and took him on his photo trips. During a landscape shot, Pecorino walked into the picture and thus enlivened the shot so much that Anzenberger made him a leading actor in his pictures. On September 11, 2012 Anzenberger's well-traveled loyal companion fell asleep gently.
