Meet my pets

CEBU, Philippines - 13 years old Mary Help of Christians School Having a pet can really give joy to you and your family.

Meet my two loving dogs. We call the eldest “Kuya Muttlee,” a cute and loyal pure breed Yorkshire Terrier or “Yorkie.” He is three years old, but in human years, he’s probably around 28.  He’s a really sweet dog! He never tends to bite anyone and doesn’t usually bark. He only barks when someone is outside our gate though.

Skippee, on the other hand, is a mix breed of a mini Daschund and a Shih Tzu, which is also called a “Schweenie”. She’s playful and sweet. Skippee is only a year old so technically in human years she’s already 15. She likes being around with new people, and she’s fond of tricks. Like  Muttlee, Skippee doesn’t normally barks.

Small breed or toy dogs like Skippee and Muttlee are not guard dogs though, but definitely they are good companions.

All kinds of dogs whether large breeds or small breeds should be taken good care of.  I know probably a lot of you out there who has Facebook or uses the internet have already read this, “Saving a dog won’t change the world, but for that dog, the world changes forever.”

Dogs are family. That is why we should love and take good care of them.
