This little dog is pretty incredible. Everywhere I go, someone always asks me "what kind of dog is that?" and I say Coton, or Coton de Tulear. And they go "huh? never heard of that". The breed is amazing. Its a somewhat rare breed in the United States, not AKC registered and do not wish to be. They are known for being soft as Cotton. Usually they are white, but sometimes come in other colors such as Henry.
His temperament is very friendly, submissive, and he wants to please. He learns very quickly and he is intuitively aware of the physiological state of his person. We are training him, and someday he will be an official service dog.
He is very very sweet, and sometimes quite spunky...but his intelligence blows my mind.
For now, he is simply growing up and being trained. He is spending time in many places, and with many people and we will work up to more independent time with Daniel.
I never understood why people loved their dogs so much, until I had one. And he is a love.
How did we get this rare little pooch? Well, it's kind of a long story, but the short of it is that a very kind hearted woman in Ohio learned that we were seeking a dog for Daniel that would be a good comfort dog/service dog,.. next thing I know she has donated a pup to Daniel.
On July 23, Thomas and I drove out to Philadelphia and met Henry at the airport
Life has been full of blessings ever since. So next time you hear "Coton De Tulear" you will know what it is...
God Bless...
