Milo's story is one of typical Key West bizarreness... he was found roaming the streets of Key West after Hurricane Georges by "Nature" Jim Hale. When Jim located the owners they said "why don't you keep him, he seems to like you." Jim asked if he had ever bitten anyone and they said no he was very friendly. Milo proceeded to bite Jim and just about everyone else he came in contact with. Out of the charity of his heart, Jim kept Milo and nurtured him knowing the dog could never find another home and its only other fate would be a quick end at the pound. Milo was the inspiration for the "Crazy Dog" design which was never printed, but was incorporated into the Lazy Dog Mob design (he is perched on the bar in the center of the design.) Milo met a tragic and untimely end after becoming seasick on a sailing trip to Cuba... he lives on in spirit through his equally adorable and infinitely more sociable successor, Marco.

The Tasmanian Devil challenged Milo ...
 

Milo won.
 

Milo's diet consisted mainly of raw chicken and kittens (just kidding)
