Olympians and their Pets: Mirai Nagasu - Figure Skating

Back to Petside 2010 Winter Olympic Coverage

Pets: A Chihuahua named Kousuke and a cat named Gigi

Q: Tell us about your pets!

My dog, Kousuke, is a purebred Chihuahua, but he sure doesn't look like one! He's white with a black spot around his eye. I also have a cat, Gigi, who keeps my dog company while I'm skating.

Q: What do you like to do with your dog?

I walk my dog every day, three times a day, and I often take him to my best friend and neighbor's house to play with his friend, Leila.
