Eleven-year-old Woolly was found on the streets alone. It's unclear whether he was abandoned or simply became lost and couldn't find his way home.

It is apparent, however, that he is a dog that was well loved. He has no fear of people and loves being around them. Not even toys trump people for Woolly. He wants your attention and when he has it, he'll do everything with you, go everywhere with you, or he'll simply sit quietly by your side.

Woolly, in fact, can be likened somewhat to a security blanket — a friend who is always by your side, always ready to offer his warm affection and companionship. Woolly's two back legs are slightly crooked, but they seem to give him no trouble or pain. He's a small dog, not even 8 kg, but he has a personality of immeasurable proportions.

Woolly may be easy to overlook at first glance, but once you get to know him, you'll realize he has gone straight to your heart. You'll likely find yourself looking for him.
