This is the amazing little Nuna the Chihuahua who was one of our gracious hosts in Vietnam. She is a particularly tiny breed of Chihuahua and managed to keep us entertained and comfortable during our three weeks living in Ho Chi Minh.
When she wasn't scampering around our feet showing us where not to step, she gladly gave herself up to distract us from the blistering heat. But not too much. She kept us coming for more by tantalisingly keeping out of arms reach whenever our hands approached her.
She wisely stays indoors - away from the heat and bike fumes outside. There is plenty of space for her to run about and exercise, given her tiny legs. So much so that she is easily tired and consequently volunteers herself as a living cushion. Particularly when she dons a striped cushion cover of a dog jacket.
Thank you Nuna, we will surely recommend your services to our friends.
In February 2009, Mark and Linh moved from the UK to the Far East to spend 16 months living in Hong Kong and traveling around East Asia. This website documents their journey.
