Does your dog reflect your personality?

Observing Cookie's behavior, it's evident that the attributes of each family member have found a place in its demeanor.

From my son, Cookie inherits the love for Idli and Dosa. Despite today's kids leaning towards pizzas and burgers, my son's preference for idli, dosa, and curd rice remains unwavering. Even in upscale restaurants, my son would order Idli or Dosa and finish with curd rice. If the breakfast is not idli or dosa, Cookie would rather stay hungry.

From my Daughter - selective and extremely picky eating. Cookie does not like to eat her own dog food, it pushes the bowl away if the food does not live up to her expectations. Sometimes we got to pretend we eat the same stuff.

Like my mother's extroverted nature, Cookie thrives on social interactions. Anyone entering our home is greeted with enthusiasm and a demand for a belly rub. I kind of recall the BACKSTREET BOYS song from early 2000's. Cookie's motto seems to echo, "I care not of your origins or vocation, only that you offer a soothing belly rub."

Inherited from my wife is the courage to stand one's ground. During walks, even when faced with larger and more aggressive dogs, Cookie refuses to budge. Size becomes irrelevant as it confronts challenges head-on.

From me -  Cookie seeks solitude as a precursor to rest. When sleep beckons, it seeks out seclusion beneath tables, sofas, or behind potted plants, basking in moments of quietude before surrendering to slumber. Just as I yearn for tranquility.

In essence, Cookie embodies a fusion of family traits, creating a unique and endearing character that charms us all.
