Chokito the Chinese Crested Dog Steals Hearts on Brazilian Soap Opera

Chokito, a two-year-old Chinese Crested dog, has become a star in the Brazilian soap opera "Beleza Fatal." Playing Lolindo, the loyal companion of the villain Lola, Chokito charmed audiences with his charisma and unique look. His owners were surprised by how easily he adapted to filming, requiring almost no retakes. Despite competing with other dogs for the role, Chokito's gentle nature won over the production team. They even found a fun connection to Cruella de Vil's dog from "101 Dalmatians," as Chokito shares the same breed. During filming, Chokito was well-cared for, enjoying treats, water, and rest. One funny scene required a creative solution to get him to interact with a different actress, but the result was hilarious. Chokito's popularity extends beyond the screen. He's recognized on the streets of São Paulo and is now featured in advertising campaigns for pet products. His owners believe this is just the beginning for the charismatic canine.
