This is Luca my poodle and Felix my new Chihuahua mix. Luca has been such a great big brother.

Felix is still very frightened when he meets other dogs. He responds like most chihuahuas do, by barking!

I was telling Luca how proud I am of his new awareness in being kind while meeting new dogs. He used to rush up and jump on them expecting all of them to play rough. It sometimes would upset the other dogs & their people.

When I told Luca I was proud of him and how he is teaching Felix well he responded,

“I’m learning it is easy to make new friends when you take it slow.”

That’s my Luca!
