Pooh is a Lhasa Apso, he was born in 1988 and adopted by his Mom & Dad in 1990. Pooh used to live in a very abusive home and he didn't trust people when his Mom and Dad first adopted him, but now Pooh is happy since he lives with Mel & Dino.
The Lhasa Apso is known in Tibet as "Bark Lion Sentinel Dog." His primary function was that of a palace watchdog. His keen intelligence and acute hearing and instincts for identifying friends from strangers made him uniquely suited for the role of a watchdog.
