There is no denying that there is a bond between Carol and our little Pekinese/Chihuahua dog, Miko. He watches her every move and if she goes outside he sits at the window, watching until she comes back inside. If she leaves the room, he has to know where she is. And if she sits on the couch, he goes to the back of the couch, where he settles down above her head. Miko has provided Carol with a lot of companionship, and has been a blessing.
