Your Pet Story: This Shih Tzu brought lots of joy and laughter to his owner

Velvet was so tiny when I first saw him as a month-old Shih Tzu puppy in 2010 – he was so very cute. He was given to me by a friend and I loved him at first sight.

Velvet’s fur was extremely soft and fine, which was why my son decided to call him “Velvet”.
