Mooch, aka The Mooch, Moochie Pie and The Chairman of the Board was mauled by a dog in the Bronx. A little girl wrapped him in a towel and rode the subway all the way to Flushing, Queens to be rescued by Bobbi and the Strays. He was operated on by a vet named Dr. Fish. Full of stitches and stents, he busted out of his cardboard carrier on his way home in the car and promptly pooped in my lap. Once home he beat up the dog (Scooter) who was terrified of him for the rest of his life. After Scooter died and we got Petey, every day at 5 o'clock, Mooch would seek Petey out and slap him in the face. He ruled us all, we adored him.
