My Heart, My Story

When I trust you, my tail never stops wagging. I love walks. I love soft voices. I love car rides more than anything — the window open, the breeze in my fur, the feeling of freedom and comfort all at once.

I am a deeply loyal little dog.
Once I bond with you, I stay by your side with my whole heart.

But I also need to tell you something important:

I do not feel comfortable around children.
Their fast movements and loud nois
