EXPERIENCE

Cachito, our newest K9 Trainer at FUTSOC, packs a lot of personality. He spent the last 2 months overseas playing for the FC Barkelona B-"Buff" squad. Don't let his small frame fool you, this little guy was the starting striker amassing more than 85 goals in 26 games.

His skillset was quickly spotted and was soon called up to the starting squad; however, he opted developing a niche for pets and socializing.

If you do happen to bring a toy, don't let him spot it because he will be all over you if you do.
