About OUR HERO

The Lonergan family met Mochachino at the St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, NJ. After falling in love with Mochachino, they soon adopted him into their family. Sadly, Mochachino suffered an accident that required amputation of his left front leg. However, Mochachino’s response to the trauma is inspiring. After the surgery and recovery, Mochachino was back chasing his human siblings around the house and yard. He loves running and jumping with other dogs at the park.
