Bred as a favored lapdog to Medieval Italian noblewomen, these gentle souls are adoring, sweet, and comical at times. They are just as agile and graceful as their larger cousins, but not quite as fleet on the ground. Still, they maintain a strong prey instinct and will chase anything that moves. This makes them easy to amuse, but hard to catch if they take off in hot pursuit.
