He brings you things. That's how he says it. The toothbrush is pink and slightly chewed, and he's carrying it across the bricks with the pride of a dog who has brought you a very expensive gift. This little guy has been in the family nine years. Nine years of following the same person from room to room, of sleeping where the sun lands, of appearing the second a cheese wrapper opens. His fur is a mess in the way that only happens when an animal is completely, unguardedly happy. One eye is hidden. The other is watching me, checking that I saw the toothbrush. I saw it. Good boy. The best boy. Some love arrives on four legs with something in its mouth. #shihtzu #goodboy #doglove
