What inspired CHAKO?

Chako inspired CHAKO. Chako was a UKC/ADBA American Pit Bull Terrier related to Going Light Barney. Going Light Barney is a dog that unfortunately proved successful as a fighting dog and developed a reputation as one of the best fighting dogs of all time. Fortunately, however, this dark world of dog fighting produced a gentle, courageous soul that came to be known as Chako.

Dawn Capp grew up with Chako. He was a loving, strong, patient, and intelligent dog that loved children and happily let them torment him hours each day by riding him like a horse, inadvertently stepping on his tail, and sneaking up on him while he slept just to scream "boo!" Chako not only tolerated this abuse, he relished the attention. He died at the respectable age of 15, but he left his impression on the hearts of those who knew him.
