Say Hello to Daisy
Shih Tzu, 10 years old
My favourite thing about Daisy is...
She has got the most beautiful eyes - big and round. She gives you so much love; she puts her head on my shoulder and she looks straight into my eyes to tell me how much she loves me. She has the kindest heart that a dog could have. Wherever she goes people love her. She's been quite ill but never shows this.
The biggest challenge with Daisy is...
She's not well and day by day she fights on; her condition isn't going to get better only worse.
The most surprising thing about owning a Shih Tzu is...
The long hair! And how they talk with their eyes and tells me it's dinner time.
What I wish I’d known about Shih Tzus is...
How loveable they are.
Did you know?
Some have a white spot on their head which is known as the “Star of Buddha”. The legend goes, Buddha was travelling with his Shih Tzu companion when robbers tried to attack him, but then the tiny dog transformed into a fearsome lion and chased the thieves away. Buddha kissed the dog upon the forehead in thanks, giving it a little white mark.
