I suppose you may have a question why a Portuguese dog from Porto is a Rat Pack member. Bob writes about wine tourism and a few years back was invited by the Portuguese government on a media tour of the Douro wine region. Mr. Antonio was the driver of a Mercedes van used in that tour and there is no better driver in the world. As an example the road leading to Quinta Ramos Pinto in the Douro is absolutely treacherous and Mr. Antonio impressed Bob with his amazing driving skills and utter calmness where other humans may have wet their pants. One wrong move you will tumble down to your death. Mr. Antonio was an incredible marksman and packed a couple of mean pistols including a World War Two vintage German Luger and his prized Dirty Harry Special Edition 357 Magnum. These skills prompted Bob to offer him a job in the security detail. You might want to say I was included as an added bonus.
I am familiar running with the criminal crowd first as an unwitting Al Shabib narcotics smuggler then working for the Port Protection Service hunting down Port counterfeiters. After taking down the Big Sardine in Porto I had a brief television show that was a flop then I switched to working in security in the film industry. I have a charming personality and earned the nickname on the set as the Cary Grant of Portuguese dogs. There is nothing like charm to disarm an enemy.
While Ollie has a tremendous sense of smell I have “the sense” and experience to detect criminality a sort of Feng Shui if you understand me. I know when people are not who and what they say they are.
Poor Mr. Antonio was slain in the “Bulgarian incident”. Reggie asked if I would like to stay on and join the Rat Pack. The Mookster put in a recommendation for me knowing how charm can work in delicate high stakes situations.
I am a proud member of the Rat Pack and I pledge to support Reggie’s desire to make the world a safe place particularly for children.
