Little disappointed in Cruz for getting a lapdog. I don't like most small breeds. Pugs and miniature pitchers can be cool though. Although maybe he got lucky, the dog does seen to have some personality. I can't stand the ones with Little Dog Syndrome that yip all the time.
And like someone said, you would be very hard pressed to find a woman (even the good ones) that will match a dog when it comes to loyalty. A dog won't hesitate a second to put it's life at risk and it's favorite thing to do always is whatever you're doing.
