Brian Johnson/AFN Although it would appear that Mr. Magoo, the Boxer, is running for his life from Bailey, a 9-month-old mixed breed, the truth is that the pair are fast friends that get together regularly at the dog run at Pecos Park. Mr. Magoo is owned by Beverly Rogers and Bailey is owned by Adam Davis. Sept. 30, 2010
