Loren, much like countless dog lovers, believes she found her perfect furry companion. Her Chihuahua mix, Falkor, weighs just three-and-a-half pounds but draws curious glances from people who often wonder what kind of animal she is. Falkor’s unusual appearance frequently leaves passerby baffled.
„People think she’s a ghost or a pig. I still look at her sometimes and think ‘What are you? Where did you come from?’“ said Loren.
When Loren first encountered Falkor, she couldn’t be certain if she was a puppy or a senior dog due to her distinctive look. Nevertheless, her age was irrelevant; what mattered was that she needed help.
Rescued from a hoarding situation, Falkor was isolated, aggressive, and filthy. Loren felt an instant urge to assist her. She knew that Falkor required special care and attention.
New Beginnings
After bringing Falkor home, Loren vowed to ensure she never felt neglected or frightened again. She provided her with all the love and care she needed.

During a much-needed veterinary checkup, it was discovered that Falkor was between five and six years old and diagnosed with albinism. Fortunately, she was neither deaf nor blind, which is common in albino animals.
Despite her small size and appearance, Falkor was initially unapproachable. Loren had to use a towel to get her into a carrier as she was too scared to be picked up.
Over time, however, Falkor began to trust her new surroundings and her new human family. She learned that her new environment was safe and loving.
Adjusting to a New Life
Even though Falkor remains food aggressive and must eat separately from other animals, she has gradually adapted. She eventually realized that she is safe and loved in her new home.
„It took some time to earn her trust. She loves me but tolerates everyone else. So she’s definitely a one-person dog, I would say,“ Loren shared.

Falkor is not particularly fond of other animals, likely due to her past experiences in cramped conditions with numerous other pets. She prefers solitary companionship with her human.
Aside from her love for french fries, Falkor enjoys basking in the sun. However, Loren ensures that her sunbathing sessions are timed to protect her sensitive skin.
Since adopting Falkor, Loren’s life has been filled with joy and gratitude. She constantly feels blessed to have Falkor by her side.
This tiny pup has brought immense happiness and brightened Loren’s days with her unique charm and personality.

„It’s been an honor to get to be her person. I’ll never know why I was so lucky to have her in my life. I know that she’s one of a kind, and I’ll never have another animal like her.“
Falkor’s presence has been a unique and irreplaceable experience for Loren. The bond they share is truly one of a kind, making her story a touching testament to the special relationship between a pet and its owner.

Honestly, why would you let her eat french fries? That can’t be good for her health.

I’m curious, do you have any tips for dealing with food aggression in dogs? My pup has similar issues.
