I think that its the dog's personality that causes you to be so awestruck...or love struck as the case may be!
I have a pit bull named Liberty (who my training business is named after,) a lab/pit mix named Lucy, and then my itty bitty boy yorkie Scooter. I baby all three of my four pawed kids!!!!
My girls (Liberty and Lucy) think Scooter is the best thing since hamburgers! They snuggle with him, play with him, and just love him so much! Lucy lets Scooter "win" the wars, and she rolls over so he can pin her in a submissive position...
Looks like people aren't the only ones smitten by a yorkie's aura!
