Sam

Latte has never met a stranger. He approaches every new person with a slow wag of the tail, a gentle sniff, and the kind of steady eye contact that says "I see you, and I think you're wonderful." He has never growled, never snapped, and never been anything other than gracious — even when Boba steals his rope toy (which happens more than anyone would like to admit).

His favorite time of day is early evening, when the house settles and he can curl up next to his favorite human with a contented sigh. He loves long, unhurried walks and always stops to smell every flower along the way. Latte is living proof that small dogs can carry enormous souls.
