Part of the Awesome Dogs series
A tiny dog with a flowing coat and a royal past nearly disappeared.
Shih tzus are small dogs that can seem to be more hair than body. Early readers learn what these dogs look like, how they behave and how their royal history in China, and a comeback from near disappearance, made them the popular pets they are today.
The shih tzu might be the Rapunzel of the dog world. The little dog is sometimes more hair than body, especially at a dog show! If the flowing locks alone don't impress young readers, the shih tzu's royal roots and fairytale-like comeback from near disappearance will.
