A chocolate brown Havanese with a shaggy face sits beside a torn cardboard box of tissues with crumpled tissues on the floor. 5 / 26

The Tissue Box Was Full. Then the Havanese Sat Beside It, Smiling.

AI imagehavanesecaught in the actliving room

Crumpled white tissues are strewn across the floor like fallen snow, and a chocolate-brown Havanese sits beside the torn remains of the box they came from. His shaggy, silky coat gives him a fluffy, bearded face, and his brown eyes look up with a hint of a smile. A lamp casts a warm light on a gray couch with a knitted throw, and a mug and glasses rest on a table beyond him. We'll call him Mocha, and he is clearly trying to look charming.

Havanese are cheerful, affectionate small dogs with long silky coats that need regular brushing to keep tangles away. They are very people-oriented and tend to follow their favorite person from room to room, and they can get bored or lonely when left alone for long stretches. Chewing and shredding can be a way for a bored dog to occupy himself. A few interactive toys, a short walk before you go out and a chew that's meant for dogs can help. Tissue is usually passed without trouble in small amounts, but if your dog swallows a lot, ask your vet.

Mocha has the posture of a dog who feels he's earned a little forgiveness. His smile is small and hopeful, and the mess behind him tells the story. The tissues are scattered, but there's still a good chance that he will walk away with a cuddle instead of a scolding.
