LOL, that first pic is too cute! Buddy is so cute!
At my old house, my next door neighbour had a little black and white dog for about a month ( ), I think a shihtzu. He would try to dig everyday into our backyard. Once he did come into our backyard, and he was sooo happy! He ran around and around in circles, lol. But the owners didn't really like us petting him I think. I would just stick my hand through to pet him through the fence when he comes and the owners would just call him back. I thought it was really mean for them to do. and the dog was really friendly too. But I don't remember why they gave him away.
I remember at that time I really wanted to keep him.
