The Havanese Pulled Out Every Tissue and Looked So Worried

AI imagehavanesetissuescaught in the act

Large brown eyes peek out from a soft, chocolate-colored face, and the long wavy fur on the Havanese's ears frames a worried little expression. Behind him sits a torn cardboard tissue box, with crumpled white tissues scattered over the floor. A gray sofa, a pair of slippers and a throw blanket fill the corner of a calm living room. He glances to the side, as though checking the exit route.

Havanese are cheerful, affectionate toy dogs from Cuba, with silky coats and clownish personalities. They are social and clever, and they like to follow their families around. They tend to dislike being left alone, which can lead to bored behaviors such as shredding paper, so a favorite chew and a puzzle toy go a long way. A bit of tissue is usually harmless, but a large amount can cause digestive upset, and your vet can advise if you are worried.

Havanese coats need regular brushing to avoid tangles, and a little time spent grooming also builds a strong bond. Keep tissue boxes on a shelf or in a drawer, and give him something legal to rip, like a cardboard tube.

He wears the look of a small, reluctant sneezer who regrets his decisions. The box is finished, but his charm is still in perfect condition. Havanese are famous for being sweet even when they are naughty, so forgiveness usually comes quickly.
