Dino is better known as "The KING"

Dino the Beagle is 4 1/2 years old and tends to get his way... a lot. His proud owner is Tonya Osborne who says, "We originally named him Mel, after Mel Gibson, but then we heard him bark, and he sounded exactly like Dino on the Flintstones so we had to change his name."

"We trained him to do a special trick," she said,"when we shoot a toy gun he plays dead."
