All dogs are wonderful, no matter what the size. In fact, my 85 pound Golden Retriever, Lilly, thinks she is a lap dog. One of my friends came by this morning and Lilly just put her head in his lap and sat there looking at him. He said, "Lilly, you should have been a Chihuahua so you could sit in my lap!". She really wishes she could be in your lap all the time!
