The Shih Tzu was bred for emperors, which explains a great many things.
A sensible dog, when presented with a comfortable cushion, will appreciate it.
A Shih Tzu, upon finding one, will regard it as a constitutional right.
The breed spent centuries in the palaces of China being admired, pampered, and generally treated as a creature of consequence.
Time has done little to improve its humility.
That is the meaning of the words on this shirt:
Tiny Tyrant.
Soft Heart.
For a Shih Tzu possesses two qualities in equal measure.
The first is an unwavering conviction that it owns the house, the furniture, and very likely the people.
The second is a heart so devoted that it follows those same people from room to room as though they might disappear without supervision.
It is a curious arrangement.
The dog demands tribute, yet offers affection.
It issues orders while sitting in your lap.
It behaves like royalty and loves like family.
A Tiny Tyrant, indeed.
But a Soft Heart all the same.
