A Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Named Dashel Works As A Bike Messenger & A Chef

A Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Named Dashel works as a New York bike messenger and a Chef at the Osteria Francescana restaurant in Modena Italy.

Wikipedia: The modern King Charles Spaniel, and the other types of toy spaniels, are likely the result of crossbreeding historic spaniels with other East Asian breeds (such as the Japanese Chin, Pekingese, and the Pug) in the early 19th century. This was done mainly to reduce the size of the nose and snout, as was the style of the day.

Image 1: Bicycle messengers (also known as bike or cycle couriers) are people who work for courier companies (also known as messenger companies) carrying and delivering items by bicycle. Bicycle messengers are most often found in the central business districts of metropolitan areas. Courier companies use bike messengers because bicycle travel is less subject to unexpected holdups in city traffic jams, and is not deterred by parking limitations, fees or fines in high-density development that can hinder or prevent delivery by motor vehicle, thereby offering a predictable delivery time.

Image 2: Osteria Francescana is a restaurant owned and run by chef Massimo Bottura in Modena, Italy. In 2016 and 2018, William Reed Business Media named Osteria Francescana the best restaurant in the world that year in their annual The World's 50 Best Restaurants.

Chef Dashel extends one paw with theatrical flair, releasing a cascade of vibrant herbs -- thyme, oregano, and basil -- that drift gently downward, mid-motion, like cosmic confetti. On the counter before Dashel rests a masterfully crafted Pizza Fritta atop an artisan ceramic plate -- golden and puffed, its surface crowned with a glossy tomato reduction, melted fior di latte, and a delicate shimmer of olive oil.
