Antonio Ballatore was the Season 4 winner of HGTV’s Design Star, where he won his very own show on the network, The Antonio Treatment. He might look like a tough guy, but inside, he’s got a soft and gentle heart. His trusted co-host just so happens to be his best friend, Chewie. I got the chance to ask Antonio and Chewie to give Dog Milk “The Scoop!”

What?s ?The Scoop?? (i.e., how did Chewie come about living with you?) I adopted him at the age of 2. He was a sire for breeders that where moving and splitting up, he was in a crate in a garage for the first 2 years of his life.

With all of the press he’s getting on HGTV and Facebook, is Chewie getting a big head? Yes. It’s getting out of control.

Thanks Antonio and Chewie!
