We has sat on satin pillows and had beautiful marble courtyards to run in. Our distant relatives are the Pekingese and Tibetan-type dogs.
Every dog has a reason for being.
Our reason is strictly to give love. We don't hunt, pull, track or attack. We just love to be with you. We might bark to let you know someone is at the door, but we will love them once we know they are your friends. Some people fix a bathroom on a wire covered kitty litter box.
