The Pompeyo Family is a circus dog act which is led by Colombia-born circus performer Jorge Niño (Pompeyo). With him on stage is his wife Natalya, their two daughters Katerina and Isabella, and of course their dogs. Jorge and his Russian-born wife Natalya met in the US in 2002 when they were both performing with the George Carden Circus. He was on the high wire while she was an aerialist/acrobat. After having their children and adopting a number of rescue dogs, Jorge and Natalya taught the dogs acrobatic tricks including jumping through hoops and jumping rope, among others.
