Here's what the dog says about . . .

Him if it's:

• Well groomed: So, too, is the owner. If they're generous about their dogs, they'll likely be the same with their girlfriends.
• Well behaved: He likes order and appreciates good manners - or, could be controlling. This calls for further investigation.
• A pure breed: He knows what he wants and, depending on the breed, may have an eye for the finer things.
• A mutt: He's less interested in outside appearances and cares more about what's in the heart.
• A rescue: He may have a "white night" personality - or be thrifty.
• Tiny: He's either effeminate or very confident.

• Fluffy (i.e., Bichon Frise or Poodle): She loves comfort, is warm, tender, and passionate.
• Large: Tends to be standoffish or guarded and likes men who will respect her independence.
• Tiny: She loves nurturing and caring for others. Some people may over consider her overprotective.
