i think it's wonderful and most men that get little dogs at first are objectionable about the whole thing, especially when it's the g/f or wife asking for it, but after a day with these precious little ones, it's like they love them more than us women!!
and i think it's very masculine to be able to look good next to a cute little man like that...i personally find men more attractive when they can show love and care to such a tiny creature, makes them excellent "daddy" candidates
