Somebody's Sweater Went Missing. A Chocolate Puppy Was Wearing It.
Wrapped inside a thick cream cable-knit sweater, a chocolate Havanese puppy looks out like a tiny bear in a very large cocoon. Her brown curls are a deep cocoa shade, with big dark eyes and a small black nose resting just above the neckline. A green throw, a coffee mug, and a cluttered table sit nearby, suggesting a slow, comfortable morning.
Small dogs often love to burrow, and a warm sweater can be as comforting to a puppy as it is to a person. Burrowing is an old instinct, and it gives dogs a feeling of safety. Some small breeds also feel the cold more than larger ones, so a cozy spot away from drafts is a kind gesture, especially for young pups.
Be careful about letting a puppy chew on woolens, though. Loose threads can be swallowed and cause problems, so watch her closely and take the sweater away if it starts to shred. If you like putting clothing on a dog, make sure it fits well, does not restrict movement, and comes off easily. Many dogs do not need a sweater indoors, and your vet can give advice for your area.
This puppy has found the perfect hideout. All that can be seen are a few curls and a very content expression, and it seems she has no plans to come out until the sweater gets wanted back.
