 One man's best friend has no shot of being the maid of honor after possibly ruining its owners' destination wedding. Chickie the golden retriever stayed home last Thursday while Donato Frattaroli and his fiancé Magda Mazri finished the final paperwork at Boston City Hall for their wedding. When the couple returned home, they found Frattaroli's US passport was not on the counter where he had left it. 'I looked at Chickie's bed and it was like, 'Oh my passport does not belong there,'' Frattaroli told ABC News' Good Morning America on Monday. The one-and-a-half-year-old pup named after a chicken cutlet left several of the pages of Frattaroli's passport chewed and ripped. Frattaroli and Mazri planned to get married in Boston this coming Thursday and then fly out the following day to Italy for their wedding reception. But that is in jeopardy after Chickie almost ate Frattaroli's passport. 'She kind of knew what she did,' said Frattaroli. 'And all of a sudden she got really cuddly, you know, head on the lap kind of thing.' The couple have contacted the offices of Congressman Stephen Lynch and Senator Ed Markey, hoping that they can help expedite the process of getting Frattaroli a new passport in time to make his flight and wedding. 'I'm just a little stressed,' Frattaroli told WCVB on Sunday, adding that the politicians' offices have been 'super responsive'. 'They've been in touch, at least with me and the State Department, to try to expedite things and get a new passport. Keep my fingers crossed and, hopefully, everything will work itself out.' Mazri, who has been planning their Italian wedding for 18 months, called Chickie 'a really well-trained dog' an said she is 'optimistic it's going to work out'. If it doesn't, Mazri said she will still travel to Italy for the reception with 100 friends an){kind=link}
