Hi, do you like dogs?
1_Wizard
I do! Actually, my favourite is the Basenji breed! It is a hunting dog.

Oh, those are cool. I have seen them on the Westminster Dog Show, but I've never met one in person. I have a Havanese.

Wow, are you Cuban? I know that the Havanese are the national dog of cuba!

No, not Cuban, but yes they are the national dog of Cuba! Apparently all the Havanese in the US are descended from a handful that came here from Cuba during the revolution!

Wow! So amazing- imagine,  they were the first species to be domesticated!

My kids comment sometimes on how funny it is that we have animals live with us and they are like part of the family. Why dogs, and not, say, squirrels? LOL
