My Cocker Pug - Goliath

My Cocker Pug, Goliath, was a birthday present for me in April of 2009. He was eight weeks when I got him. Having been afraid of dogs my whole life, Goli is the best dog to have for someone who used to be afraid. This dog has the best temperment. He is very calm and sweet and oh so loving. He is very energetic and loves to play catch.

Goli was so easy to potty train. Now when he needs to go, he just goes to the backyard door and lets us know.

He loves people a lot and no one can come into our home without a greeting from Goli. Everyone loves this adorable little dog.

He is a very good watch dog because everytime someone passes the window or he sees someone outside, he lets us know.

Goliath has been a Godsend for me and I believe he has completely cured me of my fear of dogs. I used to cross the street when I saw a dog. Now I find myself actually petting dogs (with their owner's permission, of course). I had never dones this before my buddy came along.

Goli loves children but, with the exception of one of our friends' toddler, he seems to shy away from smaller children. Not sure why.

So for anyone who has a fear of dogs, a cocker pug is the perfect first dog. You can only love this guy.
