By the way i always owned dogs big and small for the last 45 years...
Now i keep 2 small dogs...One rescued adult from bad owners , the wiser one, a male small beautiful and of mixed races...
The other rescued from abandonment directly from Cuba... A Havana race not recognized officially...A female , very gracious...It is my male one who pick her among others female candidates, not us ... They sleep together and eat together and play together as one...😊
Dogs made my empty house playful even after my children were gone for a long time now...
Someone who mistreat dogs or children is not human for me...
Same thing with cats but i prefer dogs as my guest even if i love cat... or birds especially crows...
