Choko

Position: Retired (Point, Lead)

Age: 11

Choko has retired from Arctic travel and is living with his Polar Husky cousins Phoebe and Ursula in Minneapolis near the University of Minnesota campus.

When Choko isn't busy touring schools and museums, he is happy lounging around his house. He enjoys watching TV with his mom and dad and getting into trouble with Ursula. Some of the terrible things Ursula has taught Choko are: how to open the dishwasher and lick the dirty dishes, how to chase cats and squirrels, and how to steal food from mom and dad when they aren't looking.

Choko goes for long walks every day and still wears his sledding harness. He loves to get lots of attention from the people he meets who always ask the same question, "What kind of dog is that?"
