From time to time I wonder if I would like a little dog. Hitherto I've been a cat person, but one of my brothers is very allergic to cats, and I like him better than any cat. Nevertheless, I would like a pet. One that would follow me around would be ideal. One that would wiggle with joy when I arrived home from a trip downtown--that would be nice.
The most important thing about this ideal dog would be that he was as hypoallergenic as a dog can be, for my brother is so frightfully allergic to things. The last time he was in town I mopped, dusted and vacuumed like mad and counted it a victory that he slept easily through the night. The second must important thing would be that he not bite my nephew. The third would be that he was small. Thus, I think my ideal dog would be either a pug or a Boston terrier. I would not mind the snuffling and wheezing. In fact, I think I would like it.
