My name is Blanco and I am white and I am a very clean dog who lives in Rio San Juan and I want to make something clear: I was born white and I intend to stay white and the river mud is extremely interesting to me and I absolutely do not go into it. I do not. I definitely do not investigate the muddy bank after the rain. I do not come home with brown paws and then clean them quietly before anyone notices. None of that is happening. My coat is pristine. I am Blanco. I have ticks, which show up on my white fur like little announcements, and gut worms, and I am waiting for proper treatment and proper food because a white dog with ticks is a dog who needs help and I am asking for it with my whole white chest puffed out as much as it can be for a dog who is definitely not muddy.
