I have to share this story. This happened today.
This afternoon, I was outside a store with my yorkie Tatiana. I was hand-feeding Tatiana her lunch. A man walked by, took one look at Tatiana, and asked his friend,"Is that a toy or a real dog??" I overhead this, and giggled. Of course, Tatiana is a real dog. She's eating from my hand, and moving around. A stuff animal wouldn't do that!

I guess Tatiana may look like a toy to him, as she's tiny (about 3 lbs). I thought that man's reaction was funny.
