Buddy is an 11 year old, Bichon Frise, weighing in at 12lb - who loves to test dog food, treats, toys, clothing, bedding dishes - all things dog!
Buddy says: I am a big, fierce Rottweiller (cleverly disguised as a Bichon Frise). Don't laugh, the cuteness works for me. Well, most of the time.
I just wish my humans would appreciate the fact that, every single day, I have protected them from wild attacking dogs. They should give me more treats! It's really exhausting work, and I need lots of naps, cuddles & special treats! Check me out on Facebook!

You sent out a freebie fancy feast appetizer in the mail. My cat enjoyed the contents. I almost threw it away as it was extremely had to open. Pulling several times was painful and convinced me never to buy the product. The metal pull tab cans are easy to open.
