“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: Reggie’s Security Detail: Kit Kat: Cary Grant Personality: Keen Film Set Awareness; Chapter Twenty Nine (29)

Kit Kat originally hails from Mozambique a key exporter of heroin and amphetamines into Portugal. Kit Kat was a messenger dog for the ISIS linked Al Shabab but what did Kit Kat know about politics and drug running? Was he facilitating narcotic distribution or extremism or both? Al Shabab ran drugs a key funding source for ISIS and their ilk. Al Shabab operatives fed and sheltered Kit Kat and he became somewhat of a mascot at their Cap Delgado headquarters. But one evening Kit Kat witnessed the torture and beheading of an Italian nun by Al Shabab and that was it. He ran away from the horror stumbling upon a Rwandan security battalion battling Al Shabab. Using all his Cary Grant charm he befriended a South African anti terrorist unit and through grit and charm ended up in Cape Town exuding yet more charm being adopted by a first mate on a ship bound for Lisbon. That first mate left the ship in Lisbon for a walk in the port with man’s best friend. Kit Kat bolted leaving his ‘best friend” bewildered was hit by an automobile. Fortunately Kit Kat was only stunned by the impact. The driver Nilton was the head of security for the Port Protection Service (PPS) an organization funded by the Portuguese Minister of Agriculture and “The Douro Cabal of Ten” a syndicate of the 10 top producers of Port in the Douro region of Portugal. The Cabal was being financially challenged by counterfeit Port running rings in China and Albania. The PPS detected and “terminated” these rings. Kit Kat was, and let’s not mince words, a PPS spy and informant hounding counterfeiters at least until he took a bullet in the flank as the PPS was closing in on “The Big Sardine” a major ringleader of counterfeit Port operating out of Victorian style Port warehouses in Vila Nova de Gaia directly across from Porto. Portuguese government “informational units” captured footage of Kit Kat lunging for The Big Sardine and being felled by a bullet fired by The Big Sardine’s bodyguard. Kit Kat became a short-lived Portuguese hero landing a role in a limited run television show “Mighty Douro Dog”. The show was a flop and Kit Kat was transferred to film set security for three years at Obrigado Film Studios before being taken in as a mascot at The Home For Senior and Infirm Port Quinta Workers in Porto.

It so happened that I was a big fan of this obscure television flop and knew about Kit Kat’s exploits. Bob made a generous donation to the home and the financially enriched management of The Home For Senior and Infirm Port Quinta Workers shipped Kit Kat to Toronto where he will serve on my security detail. Kit Kat has an uncanny ability to treat all his surroundings as a film set and if things are out of sync he will know. Assassinations and murders almost always occur when there is something strange in “the set”. Kit Kat is cognizant of security requirements for media events and the way my life is heading it just might be a media event for awhile at ease and Kit Kat on my team puts me at ease. As a canine star perhaps Kit Kat can help me with my acting?

WELCOME KIT KAT!
