Butch Marginean "King Butch" was a renaissance dog and despite his desire to become an agricultural biologist or a particle physicist, broadcasting became an interest for him early in his life. He went on to obtain a CGC Degree from the AKC and then became interested in flying. After a sabbatical in Tibet where he was contemplating the premise that if he could eat one of the flying monkeys from the Wizard of OZ it would give him the ability to fly, Butch returned to the states and approached Jeff about the idea for a radio show based on his exploits in the book. Jeff, being a producer, began framing the idea which became the MBB Radio Show in 2008. Butch retained the executive producer spot for the remainder of his life, directing Jeff in the weekly topic structure and content. When not working on the show Butch retired to the northern part of Italy outside of Florence and called in his weekly direction when not in the USA helping to produce the show. He had an interest in acting and TV and was making plans to write his memoirs. He was more than a little upset with Jeff about how he was portrayed in the Award Winning “Tell-All” book “My Buddy Butch- Confessions of a New Dog Dad” and was going to set the record straight before his untimely death from a brain tumor on May 1st 2012. Butch lived 7 years and 9 months. Jeff and Butch were the best of friends and Jeff will miss him for the rest of his life.

Bosco Marginean Butch's little brother Bosco has retained the title"Duke of Butch" as he fills in for Butch during the transition period of the My Buddy Butch radio and TV show. Bosco, a patron of the arts, also summers in Italy but has remained stateside to take over Butch's duties of filming and radio work. Bosco has been known as the "anti-Butch" because of his opposite blue eye and tiger striped brindle coat. He is even more ornery than Butch was and in his circles is the "trouble making dirty faced kid in the nieghborhood." Bosco has made the transition into TV and radio very smoothly, accompanying Jeff for some appearances and as part of the My Buddy Butch TV Show which began airing to a test cable market of 50,000 homes on May 2, 2012 while in development. Although not as highly trained as Butch, Bosco has taken to filming and the camera suprizingly fast. Bosco and Butch were also best friends and hung out together almost daily...Bosco misses Butch very much also....
