The Support Team 

I am told that my ancestors used to help Portuguese fisherman carry messages between boats. And when fisherman fell overboard, they would hold onto our tails, so we could rescue them. That would explain my webbed paws.

Nowadays, I have a more leisurely life following my parents everywhere they go. I am not sure why I do that but I am totally devoted to them. I am actually a very caring dog and when I notice my family are sad or anxious, I comfort them until they perk-up. My parents say that my breed are great therapy dogs and that it’s a real help that I am hypoallergenic and don’t moult.

My favourite treats are fresh carrots and raw broccoli but what I really adore most are my Mum’s Turmeric Dog Treats. Apparently Turmeric is very good for my teeth, joint mobility and reduces any lumps and bumps. 

My parents picked me because I was fixated on them when they came to meet me with my noisy brothers and sisters, and there I was thinking it was because of my adorable puppy face. 

I heard my parents say I am a useless guard dog as all I want to do when strangers come to the house is invite them in to play. Well what’s wrong with that, isn’t it important to be welcoming and kind to everyone.

No matter what age, I love learning new tricks. I also try hard to communicate with my family using facial expressions and sounds, though they still have a lot to learn.
