Luigi DeGato
|
|
CFVC Security
|
|
Luigi has been with Country Friends Veterinary Clinic since the beginning of August. Luigi's story is that of a sad one. He never knew his father and was abondoned by his mother at Luigi's Cafe in Royse City (where Dr. Phillips and her son happened to be dining on that fateful night).
Luigi keeps the clinic safe from burglars and rodents. His duties at work include watching over the patients who come into CFVC and entertaining their families. So far he has done an excellent job, if we can only keep him from drinking out of the beta's fish bowl!
