My neighbors Patrick and Michael have a small pack of small dogs. None of those dogs can be more than ten pounds. Patrick runs the hospital for the Humane Society and that’s the source of their ever-growing gang. A few days ago Michael was coming in from a walk with the brood and I noticed the new member. Sean. He’s one of those dogs who looks like a teeny deer — short, glossy red hair and long skinny legs. He’s sort of prancy. I sat on the step to say hello to the new edition, who is quite friendly and curious.
His curiousity factor was amplified, I noticed, by his doggy head cock a la the RCA Victor guy listening to the gramaphone. But the weird thing was he never dropped that pose. So I said to Michael, “Is there something… wrong with his ears?” I was thinking maybe he had an ear infection, which was making him hold his head funny. And Michael said, “Oh no. When he was a puppy someone stuffed him in a tiny bag and tied it closed. His head was pushed way over to the side and his neck was injured. NOW HIS HEAD IS STUCK THAT WAY FOREVER.”

That sounds like a little miniature pinscher. Devilish little dogs, and too smart for their own good.

It would be worth your while. He’s a delightful little guy. Although you may have to fight Patrick and Michael for him.
