From his foster mama: Chip is genuinely one of the best dogs I've ever had in my home. Just because he is small, I want him to be able to run in the yard, sniff all the things and have autonomy about how he spends his time. He is gentle, sweet and precious. He gets along with everyone and even likes to "chase" the chickens - they are bigger than him and they turn and make a noise and he bolts. He grows in confidence every single day. I'm so proud of him and he only deserves the best.
