Small Naked Dogs

Hairless dogs are always lap-size or less.
Hairless dogs have a repulsiveness that clings to them in place of their fur.
Hairless dogs follow you with their eyes and the clicking of unclipped toenails on hardwood floors.
Hairless dogs have a helplessness that they translate to you through the contact of their naked skin as you lay shirtless in bed, listening to their wheezing breath in the dark, remaining awake in uncomfortable positions for the sake of the dog's peace of mind.
Because hairless dogs are like infants, and they need you.
