What is your dog's breed and age?
Chihuahua, 5 years old

How has your dog impacted your life or the lives of others?
Having a chihuahua has totally transformed my life in the most dramatic way possible. This tiny, four-pound tornado runs the house like a diva with a crown, barking at dogs 10 times her size and demanding snacks like she owns the pantry. She’s sassy, stubborn, and somehow always knows when I’m about to sit down so she can steal my seat. But beneath all that attitude is a fiercely loyal little shadow who makes every day funnier, weirder, and so much better. Honestly, I might be the human, but she’s definitely in charge
