Kyle Landman is a dear friend who I know through Maria Cornejo and Marysia Woroniecka. Here she tells of her dog, Michael, and the journey to adopting him! "After being on the hunt for the “unicorn” of all dogs—a black, longhaired Brussels Griffon—my brother-in-law sent me a message with a picture of the cutest, bug-eyed, hairy fluff ball staring back at me. The message read: “This is Mikey. He needs a home, now. And a haircut.”

After a week of home visits to make sure he would have a smooth transition, Mikey officially became a new member of the family. I look at Michael coming into my life as very fortuitous, as most good things are. From the start, he’s proven himself to be the most well-rounded, well-trained (completely thanks to his original owners), sweetest dog I’ve ever met. It was almost too easy. So much so that we joke that he came out of a doggie designer box. But beyond his devastating good looks (in my opinion) and chilled-out temperament, he’s become a constant source of happiness for my boyfriend and myself and has enriched our lives in ways we hadn’t anticipated. To top it all off, I found out his birthday is the day before mine and consider us to be cosmic twins, destined to find one another."
