This adorable Shitzu had been trotting along with his mom when he saw me and trotted up behind me. Such a friendly little fellow, he rolled over so I could itch his belly, and when his owner walked up, she told me in surprise that he doesn't like strangers much and has never done this before! She looked at me with a special expression and smiled while she told me his name. She was happy to let me take his picture and as I went on my way, she had to hold him back to keep him from trotting along with me on my adventure! :D

This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.
