Well, all I can say is "beware" to anyone wanting to visit Rick and Cheri once their Chow Chows are in their new Ambergris Caye home. Chows have a reputation (rather deserved) for being over-loyal to their owners to the point of viciousness to anyone and anything else. The hot weather of Belize allied with their long thick fur will not help their "friendly" dispositions!
