Bug is a loveable girl who believes there's no such thing as too many scratches or pets. She's endlessly affectionate, always ready to lean in for cuddles or flop over for belly rubs. Don't let the sweetness fool you though- this smart girl knows a handful of fun commands and loves showing them off for attention (and maybe a treat or two). Equal parts snuggle bug and clever pup, Bug brings joy wherever she goes!
