- Fang has been my faithful companion for 16 years, and I couldn’t ask for a more loving one. I called him Fang as a bit of a joke, because all the other dogs in the park are aggressive- looking dobermans or bull terriers. I thought my little shitsu needed something to toughen up his image, so he could hold his own among the big dogs.
There is a legend that shitsus are naughty Tibetan monks reincarnated, and I think this could be true. Fang is such a mischievous little dog — or he was in his younger days. He is getting on a bit now. The poor old boy has lost his hearing, so he tends to follow me around the house. - Tipo de fuente
