Notes from Zito's caretakers:

This silly pup loves to romp around all day with his siblings! When they aren’t tackling each other and chasing their tails around, they are off exploring. With their tiny noses to the ground and their ears flopping in the wind, these puppies will run around and journey through each and every room and don’t even get them started on the backyard! They love to clumsily chase after each other and run around in the grass until they finally crash for a nice nap.
