Meet Pinto Bean Burrito, a one-year-old dog belonging to senior student Allie Arya. Arya got Pinto for Christmas last year, and he now serves as her emotional support animal (ESA). Pinto celebrated his first birthday on November 1 surrounded by his friends and family.
Arya says that Pinto has spent most of his time at PLU napping, but that “his favorite part of college so far is getting treats all the time!” He also spends a lot of time at the lacrosse field cheering on Arya at her games.
People may be surprised to learn that Pinto loves to dress up! Arya says that “He wears clothes so often people in our hall get confused when he’s ‘naked,’” but his favorite article of clothing is his bumblebee hoodie.
If you see Pinto out and about, be sure to say hi!
