I don’t know why, but I’ve always had a soft spot for ‘sausages’ aka the Dachshunds.

Maybe, it’s because they are short and have big eyes that are not black. They never look threatening…

One of my neighbour has long hair Dachshund and I really don’t like his ‘sausage’. He’s an extremely unpleasant ‘sausage’ that barks at everything. His …

JR stands for Jack Russell.

These days, JR is not a happy camper. JR used to be a star on the streets of the Vancouver Downtown Eastside. Almost everybody on the Vancouver Downtown Eastside would know him. He used to do tricks.

He would run up walls and do the flip, always landing on his feet. He’s been included in a few murals on …

Capone is a 3 years old French Bulldog. Most people shorten the French Bulldog term to Frenchie. Frenchies are excellent house dogs.

Capone is short, pudgy, extremely heavy and very solid (aka fat). But when they want Frenchies can fly, literally. Most French Bulldogs are very friendly and usually very peaceful. But and it’s a big but, most Frenchies have very strong farts…

Lucky is scared of his own …

Koko is a very interesting dog. Koko is confident, sure of himself and his place into the world. He’s not bossy and he doesn’t like to be bossed around. He’s already 6 years old and so far he’s had a very good life.

Koko reminds me of the Ewoks in Star Wars — the Return of the Jedi. He may be five …

Kallie was already an older Pit Bull when she was rescued from a shelter.

She is very polite. She does not provoke people nor dogs. She doesn’t look at anybody in the eyes nor any other animal. She walks around people or other dogs.

She even “sacrificed” herself to eat my treats.

Most Pit Bulls are very high energy and they need a lot of exercise …

Milo runs and he runs. He prefers chasing balls to anything else, even to its food or treats.

He will skip his meal and any treat to chase a ball. It’s not a specific ball, it’s any ball. Somehow he has no interest in Frisbees or sticks. He’s only interested in balls.

He will run way past the point of exhaustion, so …

The dog on the left is called Oggo and the dog on the right is called Poggo or they are called Occo Pocco.

I’m not sure. Their owner was a small Chinese man with a very strong accent and a very, very soft voice. I asked a couple of times for the names because I couldn’t understand so …
