He's dark and shining, small
and powerful.
He seems always to be
moving - he radiates energy even in repose.
He has no frills
because he needs no frills.
He's intense,
but with a worldly charm that recalls his European roots.
If he were a
car, he'd be a black Mercedes convertible.
If he were a drink, he'd
be espresso.
If he were an
actor, he'd be Pacino.
But he's a dog, and so
he's a Schipperke.
