01Biography
He was born in Casteldefels, Barcelona, and his owner was Antonio Valor, his trainer, and his wife Yolanda. At the age of four months, he was sold for 70,000 pesetas and they decided to change his name to Cook (his original name was Lucke and it sounds too musical). His partner was Turia and they had several puppies; one of them, Ramsés, worked hardly. He first worked when he was only six months. Due to Loterías y Apuestas del Estado being sold to Goya Awards, Cook attended the 24th Goya Awards.
