Chester Ramirez-Chavarria is a True Romantic—Just Like His Dad, Willy Chavarria

What is one thing you wish you could tell him?

Ramirez: I feel like he understands everything. He’s fluent in us.

Chavarria: He even knows things that we don’t.

What is the most human thing that Chester does?

Chavarria: Hide from other humans. [Laughs.]

And what is the most dog thing that he does?

Ramirez: He loves everything that’s gross. He will run around and rub against things that are decomposing at the park. He’s gotten three baths this week already.

Chester, what is your full name?

Chesterfield Ramirez-Chavarria

Astrological sign?

Chavarria: I’m going to guess Leo or Taurus.

Ramirez: [Checking Chester’s passport.] He’s an Aries.

Chavarria: This says that Aries dogs are known to be confident as well as courageous and thrive on being the boss. That these dogs love attention and are extremely competitive.

Ramirez: Sounds about right. [Laughs.]

Favorite toy?

Ramirez: For inside, he loves this cat . He goes through one each month. For outside, same with the Frisbees—he just chews them up.

Favorite meal?

Chavarria: Whatever we’re having.

Ramirez: He loves breakfast. He has kibble and then lots of snacks throughout the day.

Worst habit?

Ramirez: We were lucky that when we adopted him, he was already house-trained. He’s never had an accident. [Knocks on wood.]

Chavarria: He has this thing where he doesn’t always come when you call him. Sometimes he just stares at you.

Strangest habit?

Ramirez: He likes to…

Chavarria: Actually, maybe don’t tell Vogue that.
