A pup named Ponyo

Ponyo the psychopath
Fluffy white Ponyo can be spotted every day sniffing around Docklands Park with her owner Min.
But don’t let this Maltese Shih Tzu Terrier cross’s adorable looks fool you.
“He looks cute but he’s actually a psychopath! He doesn’t like strangers,” Min said.
Min was a little concerned about how Ponyo would react to the Docklands News camera, but he showed himself to be a star model.
Min has been a Docklands resident for seven years, and has had two-year old Ponyo since he was a puppy.
She said he’s right at home in the bustling suburb.
“He’s quite urbanised, he gets in the lift, knows when to cross the road,” she said.
Toilet training, however, has been quite a challenge for the apartment dwellers.
