Mark Bello
Mark Bello comes from an automotive background, many years of running/ managing automotive repair shops. He also had a teaching license in NY State. Mark pursued a drag racing hobby and was quite successful, many wins and runner-up finishes in the mid 1980s. It is quite the work intensive, detail-oriented sport. Labrador Retriever puppy Mellie entered his life on January 22, 2017, and changed his life forever. She was exactly 8 weeks young and was counting within several hours of bringing her home, doing flash cards at 4½ months, winning a Bass Pro Shop Best Dog Trick Contest at 20 months of age. After she passed away, Mark welcomed Labrador puppy Marconi who just performed at his first professional show in late October 2024 and left the audience absolutely astonished. He played Blackjack, took many questions from the audience, spelled names, did birthdays, answered questions about astronomy. Mark says, “We are on the cusp of changing the entire perception of canine cognition with the advancement of Marconi the Math Dog.”
