Amigo dies in New York Potcake star Amigo has died in New York, finally succumbing to a yearlong battle with cancer. With him at the end, were his ‘human’ Frances Singer-Hayward, and his beloved friend and trainer, Bill Grimmer and wife Claire.
Amigo was first discovered seven years ago by Ms. Hayward as a starving and diseased stray potcake pup whom she rescued and rehabilitated, making him the poster boy/mascot for The Humane Society of Grand Bahama. Chosen as a “Story of the Year†by the Nassau Tribune, Amigo went on to become a media star, promoting the importance of spay/neuter and kindness to animals, becoming the ‘face’ of the Bahamian Potcake in tourist magazines, as an example of the incredible potential of this precious breed, which so many of us take for granted and do not adequately appreciate.
