A French Bulldog Puppy Carried the Candy Cane Like a Prize
Wide, dark eyes, big folded ears, and a wrinkled face give this fawn puppy a look of comic surprise, and the candy cane sticking out of her mouth makes it even funnier. Her coat is a warm golden tan, and her nose is dark and flat. Behind her, a tree twinkles, a plaid blanket drapes over the sofa, and a coffee table is cluttered with blankets and small things.
French Bulldogs are small, affectionate dogs with a playful, clownish character. Their flat faces mean they can have trouble breathing, especially in heat or when excited, so avoid strenuous exercise and keep them cool. Their facial wrinkles also need regular cleaning. A candy cane is not a good treat for any dog, because sugar is unhealthy and the stick can splinter, and some sweets contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Trade it for a safe chew, and call your vet if she swallows a piece.
She holds it with such seriousness that it is hard not to laugh. It is a small prize, but she guards it like treasure. After a moment, she will probably give it up for a safe snack, but for now, she has the best accessory in the room. The candy cane is nearly as long as her whole face, which only adds to the comedy of the moment.
