Pet's Story
Charlie is an almost five year old Imperial Shih Tzu that is just the light of our lives. After losing our beautiful, beloved Pit Bull, Gator, momma never wanted another dog because noone could ever come close to being as perfect as he was. Fast forward three years and Charlie found us (we think Gator showed us the way). One look at that baby and momma was in love. We know that Charlie is protected by his guardian angel, Gator, as he survived an anaphylactic shock episode when he stepped on a bee and we discovered he is deathly allergic. Charlie may be a small babe, but he has the heart of a lion, personality for days, and eyes that can see to your soul. He gave us our smiles back and continues to do so every single day. It just goes to show that it doesn't matter the size of the dog, because the pawprints they leave on your heart are all the same.
