About Me:

Education & Training

I wandered the streets of Baja, then I was in a shelter, and then they came for me. I was lucky to have a spotted nose, because that’s the kind of dog my owner wanted. They said that I most resembled a kooiker hondje – dog. But from the shelter I was not with my current owner, but with a strict lady, who was of course only apparently strict, but I had to behave properly with her. But she loved me very much, because I learned quickly and I had a lot of friends there with whom I could play a lot. Then a very nice lady came more and more often and said she would take me home soon. Then it wasn’t like that, but my trainer and I went up to Budapest and we were all together for 3 days. Oh, that was very good. I got to know my new place, I really liked it, and then we said goodbye to my trainer. I thought I’d never see her again, but we’ve seen each other often since then too, which I’m very happy about. I love being with my owner. We walk for hours every night and during the day I see what I can do to help. If she drops something I pick it up immediately and put it in her hands so she doesn’t have to bend over with her sore waist. If I see her sad, I cuddle up to her. And she’s loved my spotty nose ever since.
