The Tiny Ambassador Carried a Scroll Bigger Than His Head

He carries news that cannot wait. This cream Chihuahua stands tall in a teal coat with gold epaulettes and a golden sash, his big ears upright and his dark round eyes fixed on the viewer. In one hand he holds a rolled scroll sealed with a red wax stamp. Tall columns and soft golden drapery glow behind him, as if he just stepped into the throne room from a long journey. The gold braid on his uniform seems almost bigger than he is, yet he wears it with perfect confidence.

Chihuahuas are the smallest dog breed, and they often have personalities much larger than their bodies. They tend to bond closely to one person, and they can be wary of strangers, so gentle socialization from puppyhood helps. Because they are tiny, they get cold easily, and a sweater is practical, not just cute, on chilly days. Dental care matters too, as small mouths can crowd teeth. Always supervise a Chihuahua around larger pets and young children, since small bones can be hurt easily.

No one knows what the scroll says, but the ambassador is certainly proud to hand it over. It may contain terms of peace, or it may simply say that dinner is served. Messengers like this one never doubt that the job is important, and they certainly never lose a scroll. He gives off the air of someone who has delivered royal mail many times.
