Nicola Santini is an author and television personality, very fond of his chihuahua Otto Domizio, which he co-parents with his partner Tommaso De Mottoni (previous page). Otto is Nicola's sidekick on his Italian "game show" that tests participiants' mastery of proper etiquette. One of the etiquette tests was how to dress Paris Hilton in half an hour!

In the bottom photo, Nicola is at Otto's birthday party after a shopping spree of many birthday presents. Nicola said, "Otto is very curious, sweet, friendly, quiet, but intelligent and determined. He always seeks approval and likes being in the spotlight. We feed him venison croquettes and veal tartar."
