Meet Chino, a six-year old Pekingese-mix “puppy”, at least to his owner Tan Hui Min who says Chino will forever remain a puppy as far as the dog’s human family is concerned.

Tan says the entire household loves and adores Chino to bits, and are willing to do everything in their means to take good care of him.

Chino repays their kindness by being their source of joy and laughter. It’s his number one mission in life to keep them in fits of giggles with his daily antics especially when he performs “zoomies” after a bath.

Chino keeps his humans busy by asking for long walks and begs for attention whenever he’s in the mood for some extra love and affection. However, if there’s one thing he loathes, it’s bath time.

By sending this story of Chino, Tan hopes that people will appreciate their pets more and realise that all dogs and cats can be little angels in their own right if only humans gave them a chance.

Just like humans, dogs and cats feel pain, fear, guilt, happiness, love, joy, boredom and Chino is proof of it, Tan says.
