Legends of the Pekingese

The Common Legend:

A lion and a marmoset fell in love. But the lion was too large. The lion went to the Buddha and told him of his woes. The Buddha allowed the lion to shrink down to the size of the marmoset. The Pekingese is the result.

A lesser know Legend:
A lion fell in love with a butterfly. But the butterfly and lion knew the difference in size was too much to overcome. Together they went to see the Buddha, who allowed their size to meet in the middle. From this, the Pekingese was created.

Lucky, the lucky pekingese

Please meet Lucky!

Lucky is a sweet little male Pekingese from the Arlington Animal Shelter.  He was found wandering around Arlington without his family.  His tags indicate he was from Garland but sadly the number on his tag was disconnected and the veterinarian that had given him his rabies shot didn't have current information on the owners.  So sad.  But fortunately I was lucky enough to be able to place him with Pekes and You Pekingese Rescue out of Oklahoma.  They quickly stepped in and offered to foster him.

He's currently available for adoption.  Please visit their website if you are interested in adopting!  http://www.pekesandyou.com/

Lucky has a great personality.  He's smart, house-broken and has such a sweet personality.  Lucky is not a barker but boy - is he a lover.  He loves to cuddle and give kisses.  He's wonderful with other dogs and is good with kids.  This one was so hard to let go of.  He'll always have a special place in my heart for being my first transport but also because he's a doll.
