INTELLIGENT LIFE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2010
Eric is a bichon fries and he s from Lancashire. and if
you think he looks cute, well that just about gets to why this dog is bred. It is a classic dog that has evolved in breeding to meet our needs for the cute companion. The baby-like face may also suggest a snowman which would be our intention. It is a face whose function is chiefly created for and by humanity for its own amusement. It has similarities to the facial qualities that make for cuteness in the Hello Kitty brand. Apparently the breed was popular with Spanish and Italian sailors as an on-board pet, which would further explain its miniature form.
