Hawk has the bulky body of a cage fighter and a huge spotted grin. He’s nuts about water, especially puddles, and he loves going for countryside romps. But because of his ancestry, Hawk doesn’t inspire universal love at first sight.

Hawk lives with Khoo Kong Soo, a retired chemistry lecturer and current freelance science tutor in Kampar, Perak. Khoo got his first dog, Victor, when he was 10 years old after his sister bought the pup in a basket at the market.
