Bengt Brakstad of San Diego, California sent in this photo, with a note: “Rossi is a Cockapoo. Owners are Bengt & Theresa Brakstad. Theresa wanted a dog, I didn’t. She said I could name him after a motorcycle racer, so I caved and we added Rossi to our family. His personality is very much like VR46!” Do you have a pet named after a famous racer, or know someone else who has a pet named after a famous racer? Send an in-focus pet photo (as a jpeg file) along with the name of the pet, the name of their human or humans, and their hometown, to [email protected] .
