Meet the lovely Cheechoo, as fine a canine companion as ever was. When he landed at Humane Society Silicon Valley a few months back, this 8-year-old pit bull mix was suffering from an epic flea allergy; his skin may have been in sad shape, but his sunny disposition and eternal optimism never wavered.

Cheechoo's a perfect gentleman who loves long walks and snuggling on the couch, especially if belly rubs are involved.
