The story started on the Oregon coast in the U.S. 5 years before settling in Costa Rica.


The Master  “Dread Bizorr” was the most memorable dog Ive ever had the privilege to care for and call my own.  His eyes were fixed continually on me, never allowing any blocking of his line of sight to me.   That is a classic Cane Corso trait that I learned after raising 9 of his beautiful puppies in Costa Rica. Those were believed to be the first pure Cane Corso pups to be born in Costa Rica. Chickey-Monkey, was his mail order bride and mother of his children. A stunning blue champion show Cane Corso imported from New York.

Separation anxiety took on a new meaning when Dread Bizorr came into my life in 2002.  He slept with me on my king size bed.  We were inseparable.  Went EVERYWHERE I went, Including my work.  Or should I say HIS work.  We formed a Limousine service and named it Bodacious Black Dog Limousine and Taxi. He was the mascot and assistant chauffeur.  His dashing attire glistened on his slick glossy pure black body with diamond studded collar and cuffs.  He always started out in the front passenger seat, but most times ended up in the back of the limousine with his clients who loved being associated with his classy look and curios personality, adoring him for his loving, yet bold, protective nature.

After a few months, Dread was ready to step into a new limelight where he took on an additional career. He started his own column in a local paper. The “Master Dread Bizorr”,   The Coastal Gourmet Critic by LIMO. His job was to dine limo side at the best coastal restaurants in Oregon and then critique the experience in his local food critics column.   His exquisitely laid out table was always set up at the entrance of a fine dining establishment, at the end of a rolled out red carpet from the back limo door.  A daily paper opened to his column, a rose bud in vase with crystal dishes on a black table cloth lent even more class to the scene of a top dog dining limo-side.  After delicately devouring the restaurants most choice meal on the menu, (served on silver platter by waiter(, Dread Bizorr would critique the restaurant and its cuisine he was served in his next publication of his cuisine critique column in Tillamook, Or.

He had a great sense of humor that attracted many readers as ongoing fans.
