One day a friend of mine went travelling,
on the way back she saw a poor little pup on
the streets.
Heartbreaking moment.
Next moment, Lara with all her graces rescued
the little dog, beyond borders managed to bring
him back to London, UK.
 
His physic and colour reminded them of a character
from Pokemon hence the name Charmander.
 
Charmander after a few years has developed many
things; his big paws, cute pink nose and fire-like and
gentle physic-also developed infinite nicknames 
some very hard to pronounce and interesting sounds
other than Lara and her partner Tiff can create -
which are all signs that Charmander is surrounded
by love.
 
I looked after Chamander few years back, 
honestly I was petrified with dogs.
Historically growing up in the Philippines we mainly 
had stray dogs and they usually bite. I was bitten 
couple of times when I was a child, one I remember 
because the dog bit my bum cheek. 
That was not at all fun.
 
I wasn't sure how he was going to
behave and that in my head he was going to eat all
the
paintings and anything that he could lay his eyes on.
So I kept my eyes on him and took care of him best
I could.
As the days pass, Char and I hanged out. I painted
and he slept.
He sleeps a lot!
My anxiety on dogs subsided thanks to Char.
He is super chilled almost like having a cat, though
better because he stays around and loves you all the
time and not just when they want food,
though he loves you even more when you feed him.
 
Since then I love all dogs - actually.. all animals.
Thank you Char <3 you beautiful little dragon!
