I am the only child and I desperately wanted a dog. This did not easy, I had prove that I am capable for caring for a pet. Then it suddenly happened, Tokyo arrived and our entire life had changed. It was love at first sight and we have become inseparable. Tokyo has added joy! Fun! and adventure to our everyday life. The words Walkies and Treats triggers happy emotions where by hes constantly wagging! Tokyo runs to greet us when we come home, as well as tumbling at out feet for tummy tickles & belly rubs. He is the perfect Gard dog always protecting us â¤ï¸.
