My dog is a blond Shih Tzu/Poodle mix named Teddy who is a perfect size to cuddle with. I use to him as a sort of therapy when I get bad news or I feel terrible. My pets are everything to me because they give me a warm feeling inside. I have had animals since the time I was very young, and there has been many moments in my life where my animals had a significant impact in my life. I was adopted from China when I was four, I was still scared about my surrounding and environment. As I came to America and my new home, they had a white Boxer named Rosy. The first time I saw her I apparently ran up to her and wrapped my arms around her yelling “white horsy” in Chinese and how I just stuck close to her.
