Great companion dogs is accurate but has a positive spin My grandmother had a bichon bitch The bitch would literally follow people around all the time Good thing bichons are small if a lab did that one would get hit with a tail and the lab would have to move in order for one to get by She could not be left alone Literally would howl until people came That is why my grandmother couldn t leave her at her traile to go to a store The bichon was so in need of constant attention that she howled for three contst hours with a person up stairs
