Pitcool is a half bull terrier and half pit bull mix breed dogo. His parents and him along with his brothers and sisters immigrated to the United States in the 1940s from Italy when he was just a young pup.

Now hes an old mutt who is a little stuck in the ways of old but he tries his best to be understanding for the sake of his younger friends. This mutt thinks hes cool stuff (despite being a little out of touch) which is why he renamed himself to include cool in his name. He prefers to stick to his now out of date greaser style. Pitcool loves James Dean, the show happy days, working on cars and bikes, the outsiders and real Italian food.

This dog is also a big music fan. His favorites are Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, 1950s rock n roll music, and rockabilly music. He loves Gene Vincent, Elvis Presley, Bill Haley & his comets, Jonny Cash, Chuck Berry, Bill Flagg, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, Don's Rockers, the Rockats, the stray cats, Brian Setzer, Hillbilly Hellcats, Robert Gordon, reckless ones, Hillbilly Moon Explosion and many others that you may or may not have heard of. Pitcool also likes 1960s surf rock despite being an east coast pup who doesn't surf. It just has a catchy sound... He also thinks 1970s hard rock/heavy metal, and 80s hard rock/ heavy metal is pretty good too. Pitcool considers this the last years of any good music playing on the radio - although its still not as good as Gene Vincent or Elvis and he would rather listen to his rock n roll records if given the option. Hes an old dog so I hope his lack of taste in newer music is forgivable. Oh and Billy Idol; hes one of his "newer" favs.



Giovanni the New York city rat, his brothers, sisters, and parents were born in America, however his grandparents come from Italy. Italian traditions have been pasted on and practiced in the family while he was growing up but have been mixed in with new york and usa culture as can be expected.

Giovanni loves nothing more than to hear about stories from his older relatives and his neighbor/best friend Pitcool about Italy & Italian culture and dreams about visiting one day. Giovanni also loves Mafia movies, the Sopranos tv show, creating art, reading, writing, watching and playing football/soccer, playing card games, making jokes, hanging out with friends and enjoying some good Italian food. Hes also a graduate of La Scuola d'Italia Guglielmo Marconi and NYU - his family is very proud of him for that and likes telling many people. They would be annoyed if I didn't brag about their child's accomplishments. I think we all know some people like that...



While one is much older than the other and their interests differ a little, these two share a strong bond of friendship and a proud heritage. How much of an age difference you might be wondering? Well.. Giovanni is in his mid 20s and Pitcoo...l doesn't like talking about his age, but if you do some basic math, its easy to see that hes much older than he looks *Pitcool glares* - not that it really matters anyways...
