 My dog Pierro
Pierro is my cute blond dog. He walks really funny as he has such chubby
butt-cheeks. He has sharp ears, brown eyes, and long V-shaped face. He has
unique dark-circled eyes, which makes him cuter. His fears are really soft and
delicate like a ball of wool.

What I like about him is that he is very cute when I tease him because he
gets easily distracted by normal things and he welcomes me hectically when I
arrive at my house.
