A rescue dog from Guadalajara, Mele is friendly, fearless, and full of charm. She is an extreme busybody and a remarkable escape artist, a combination that has driven her to go adventuring on her own, sometimes as long as overnight. But she knows how lucky she is, so she always returns to rejoin her family and tuck into her warm bed again.

As much as she loves her people, she fantasizes about traveling to Las Vegas to pursue a career as an acrobat, maybe in a month-long run with Cirque de Soleil. Anyway, if you see Mele aboard the ferry, on her own, with her suitcase, you’ll know what’s up.
