125 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com A family business that prioritizes having fun with dogs sounds like a dream, but it’s a reality for the Pompeyo family. Semi-finalists on “America’s Got Talent,” Jorge and Natalya, daughters Katerina and Isabella and almost 5-year-old son, Nicolas, handle rescue dogs of all ages and breeds, using each dog’s unique talents to entertain audiences throughout the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Over 10 years in the making, the Pompeyo Dog Show continues to grow its fan base through exhilarating festival and television appearances. They will soon be captivating audiences at the Lowcountry Strawberry Festival, which will take place at Boone Hall Plantation over two festive weekends, April 5-7 and April 12-14. Their first time in Mount Pleasant, the Pompeyos are looking forward to bringing their act to one of the largest spring festivals in South Carolina. Though their performance boasts a rugged Western theme, they can’t wait to explore the Lowcountry’s vibrant culture and soak up the Southern charm. Performing their one-of-a-kind dog show, the Pompeyos often travel with as many as 10 dogs representing a wide variety of breeds -- namely “rescued.” From mixes that include poodles, heelers, rat terriers, border collies and Jack Russells, the Pompeyos don’t get hung up on genetics. They can tell if a dog is going to be a good addition to their performance troupe simply by having them engage with their children.
