Maltese

One of the most ancient of the toy breeds, the Maltese has been a cherished lapdog of aristocracy for over two millennia, with depictions appearing in Greek and Roman art. They are gentle, playful, and remarkably fearless for their tiny size, wrapped in a flowing, floor-length white coat that gives them an almost ethereal elegance. Despite their refined appearance, they are spirited and lively companions who thrive on human attention and form deep, devoted bonds with their owners.
