Poncho was sold as a slave when he was a baby. His masters gave him the slave name Poncho, put him in a cage and treated him as a circus freak. He was overfed to a degree that he developed both hip and back problems, and the "games" that the masters' kids forced him to participate in resulted in severe PTSD. He was able to run away one day when the masters forgot to lock his cage. Now as a free soul he stumbled over Garden Critters, which he quickly joined.
Poncho fights for the freedom of all critters... and to loose his overweight.
