After all the doom and gloom and seriousness of the UIGEA, Rank (Mecca Bingo) problems, and credit card bingo fraud, it is nice to be able to report on a story that has some real heartfelt warmth to it.
While the story is not about the kind of bingo that we know and love it is about a very special Bingo that a Croatian household knew and loved dearly.
Bingo the Dalmatian was the pet dog of fifty-two year old Goran Tomasic and his wife and their love of bingo was the reason that they painted their house in a very specific manner. They painted their house white and covered it in black Dalmatian-like spots in remembrance of the pet that they knew and loved so well.
Bingo lived with the couple in the town of Pribislavec and sadly he was run over by a car and killed. The couple missed him so much that they decided to paint their house to look like Bingo and ensure that none of the residents of their village would never forget him. Mr. Tomasic said that at first they were worried what the neighbours would think, but they loved Bingo so much they went ahead and did it anyway. Now all say…awwwwww!
