With her tongue lolling to the side, Daisy May is almost too amusing to be taken seriously. Some dogs will chase toys until they are no more than tattered strings. Others will perform amazing tricks for a tiny morsel of scrumptious kibble. Daisy may will chase toys, and take treats, but her real treat is you; engaged, loving, you. She will sit perfectly, but for a head scratch and a smile. Fetch a toy or ball, but because it pleases you. There’s a powerful authenticity in her love and devotion to you.
