Biography:
Argo is Danton and Liz’s recently adopted dog.  He is a black lab/great dane mix and has a blend of characteristics from both breeds.  Don’t be surprised if he wants to lean up against you like a great dane.  He is pretty good at retrieving too, but we are still working on the “release” part.  Argo is 6 years old, but was only adopted less than a year ago.  He is a big, handsome goofball that would cuddle up next to you all day on the couch if you let him.

Connection to HD:
Argo is very attached to his owners, so if they are a part of the HD community, then so is he.  He will follow them anywhere, including across the country in a 2 month long adventure to meet various people affected by the disease. 

Role on the film:
Argo will be providing moral support to his owners with his wagging tail and big smile, just like he always does.  We are calling him the mascot because he is the symbol of a positive attitude and unconditional love, both of which will be very helpful throughout our journey.
