In the past few months I've gotten my son a dog named Chico. He's a Chihuahua and loves to play. I let him play outside alot because that's how I taught him potty training. I even had a childhood dog named David. He was a shepherd mixed with chow but he passed away a few years ago from being old and sick, but that's the circle of life. I enjoyed him from my 9th grade year to adulthood. Walking, playing, wrestling etc. David and I played well together
