Fortunately, most of the places we live or go to eat, everyone loves Co, welcomes us warmly, Tran said.

Traveling with Co makes me very happy. She is very obedience, does not feel motion sickness and know how to poses for a great photo. The only draw back is she gets quite excited when spotting other dogs and lost control, Tran shared.
