[/caption]Austin is famous and well recognized--his owner, Johnny Mitchell has traveled the world with Austin performing as The Fly'n Lion for years now. Austin is a Pomeranian shaved to look like an adorable little lion. He stands on Johnny's arm and they skate and snowboard together. They've made 1000s of appearances worldwide: Sundance, Winter X Games, Aspen, 2006 Winter Olypmics, HBO Comedy Fest Aspen, Vail Film Festival, innumerous red carpets, etc.
Austin is also a staple on the boardwalk in Venice Beach--anyone who's seen him down there can attest to the strong bond shared between Austin and his owner.
As a lil' dog owner myself, I'm heartbroken over Johnny's loss--PLEASE HELP!
