The dog story
On the edge of a small village nestled between rolling hills and deep forests, lived an old man named Karim and his loyal dog, Bruno.

Training Tips for Small Dog Breeds
While a small dog is as much of a dog as any of the larger breeds, smaller breeds tend to get less training time than bigger dogs.
