Russian television host and actor -- in such films as Lopukhi (Dummies, 2008) -- Dmitry Nagiyev says of his chihuahua: "Bonia is the world's number one dog."

Bonia is a funny little girl who refuses to be taken for a walk to poop. She insists on going alone, and pooping in private. "After a walk in the street by herself, she comes home."

He says, "Dogs are absolutely sincere. Without self-consciousness they can be happy for you, glad to meet you when you've been away, and of course they love you. If you want to get a dog, especially a chihuahua, don't hesistate for a moment!"
