Raging Rocky

NAME: Rocky
BREED: Miniature Pinscher
AGE: 2 years


ABOUT THE DOG:
Rocky spent the first year of his life in a Mississippi dog pound. He was aggressive towards humans and had an unusual characteristic -- a fifth leg! Unsocialized, Rocky spent most of his day in his cage with very little human contact. And though Rocky found acceptance and love in the Ray Family, he still has monstrous outbursts toward people.

ABOUT THE OWNER:
Todd and Danielle Ray, along with their children, run the Venice Beach Freak Show in Venice, California. Danielle guides visitors through their collection and Todd plays ringmaster.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
The Ray Family's Venice Beach Freak Show boasts a menagerie of animals including 10 two-headed turtles (5 of which have six legs), a two-headed snake, a cat with six paws, a pet squirrel, frogs, a ten-foot boa, an albino gopher, a hairless rat, and a snake-neck turtle. They also have an Axolotl walking fish that has working legs that if dismembered can grow back. They also had a two-headed goat which recently passed away.
