As the second youngest in a family of 22, Richard Olate struggled to find security in his home of Chile, South America. At the age of 12, he rescued his first street dog that would eventually rescue him. Through hard work and constant struggle, he took his amateur dog show all the way to the $1 million America’s Got Talent prize. With help from his son Nicholas and wife Rebecca, this crew of rescued pooches now thrill and delight audiences around the world.

Willy, Cholo, Lili, Joe, Sodi, Benny, Bob, Maggie, Loca, Oso, and Bella are the stars of the show. Be on the lookout for Joe at the front of the conga line and Cholo’s famous car act. Oso is in love with Bella and spends much of his day trying to play with and get her attention. All of the dogs are in love with Richard Olate but Lili is his constant shadow. Although these pups had a rough start in their lives, Richard has allowed their personalities to blossom through adopting them as his own.

The family of pooches and their accompanying owners are now making their way towards Bellingham! This high-energy, fast-paced touring dog variety show is not only filled with amazing dog tricks, human acrobatics and humor, it teaches the value of family and promotes animal well-being.
