జీవిత చరిత్ర
Atka, the Amazing Eskie, is an American Eskimo Dog, born in 2004. He is the star of a unique interactive Trick & Therapy Dog team, performing at military bases, nursing homes, Fortune 500 companies, and American Kennel Club "Meet the Breed" events.
On TV, he has always been chosen to be a great representation of an American Eskimo dog, and was featured on Animal Planet's hit TV series, Dogs 101 (2008) while skateboarding, jumping through hoops, playing dead, etc., and on the Fox and Friends (1998) morning show on the Fox News Network.
In print, he has been featured in books, newspapers, high fashion magazines, dog-related periodicals, and brochures, to name a few.
His first movie role has him in a small, but pivotal part, in Days of Power (2017). He is proud to have been a part of a movie with such an important message to deliver.
Atka's strengths as both a therapy dog and an entertaining trick dog have enabled him to adapt to different and challenging environments and people with ease, bringing calm and comfort to those who need it, while flipping a switch as a performer to immediately turn "on" as soon as he steps into the spotlight. These important characteristics have made him very successful in his career and in his role in helping to educate the public about his breed.
Atka lives in southern NJ with two other members of his trick dog team, "Normal Dog Nuka" and "Kutie Kayu". All three are American Eskimo Dogs, living with their owner and trainer, Thy Cavagnaro, and her husband, Jimmy.
