A black and white Havanese sitting in a toppled bookshelf of paperback books and toys in a living room 8 / 28

A Havanese Sat Perfectly Still in the Middle of a Fallen Library

AI imagehavanesebookshelfliving room

Paperbacks lie open across the floor in every direction, and a black and white Havanese sits right in the middle of them with the neatest, fluffiest face. His ears are feathered, his eyes are dark and round, and his chest is a cloud of white. The bookshelf lies tipped over behind him, and a basket of blankets, a toy block, and a plant sit nearby. The whole room looks like a library after a very small earthquake.

Havanese are small, sociable dogs from Cuba, known for their silky coats and cheerful personalities. They love being near their families, and many are quick to learn tricks and play games. Shelves can be a hazard for a curious dog, because heavy furniture can tip over. Anchoring bookcases to the wall protects both pets and people, and keeping low shelves tidy reduces temptation. If a dog has been hit by falling items, check him for injuries and call your vet. Daily play and a basket of his own toys make a good, safe way to spend all that bouncy energy.

He does not seem upset by the mess, and he looks ready to read the first chapter. The books will take an afternoon to sort, but the story of this day will last longer. Havanese are famous for their charm, and he is using all of it.
