MR. BAO BAO

 

 

This is the story of an overly intelligent young male dog of the Shih-Tzu breed who is able to reason like a human being but without the force of speech, as stubborn as the other Chinese dog the Chow-Chow, kind and adorable who knows how to win the hearts of others by his small size and his gaze with big soft eyes who knows how to win the hearts of his Masters to accompany them but not strong for defense and attack.

 

His voice suits a tenor baritone, knowing how to dance.

 

The summary of his tumultuous history: He left Paris, the Island Saint Louis in the middle of the Seine river, of his happy childhood, following a family move, where unfortunately he will be lost in Hong Kong by the inattention of his Masters, he will manage to return alone to Paris, because it is terrified of the social demonstrations of Hong Kongers protesting against the anti-democratic oppression of the Government of China. In a panic, he decides not to stay there and to return to Paris alone.

 

Without family and without a house, he will become ‘Saltimbanque’ (acrobate in street) in the Saint Louis Island in order to have his livelihood and never to leave his favorite Parisian district in the middle of la Seine River. So issues of identity of his personality, after so many things happened, he needs to be guided by a Psy, Doctor Doggy-Cool.
