Managing Your
Small Dog’s
BIG EGO!

“It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when my dear fur-friend Leo
showed that size isn’t everything. With sheer ferocity, he bared his
teeth and lunged at the coyote’s feet, sending the
much larger animal scrambling away. It is
important to note that Leo was a 10lb
Pomeranian With Attitude and
a Mohawk, No this was not
the cause of Leo’s ultimate
slumber. That happened years later
due to old age. What this little spirit
showed us, is that small doesn’t
equal weak. What it shows
us is that the most meager
can always take down the
most magnificent threats as long as
persistence and confidence remain as
driving principles.”
