We would like you to meet one very cute young man, Alex Rivera, and his also very cute new puppy, Tazz- named that  because he "runs around a lot!".  Tazz is a Shih Tzu-Pekingese mix who was born on August 21, and is pictured here at his first Puppy Plan appointment on November 10, 2000, when he weighed 5.2 pounds. These two boys are very best  buddies, and it is good that Alex's parents, Jonathon and Carmen Rivera, are teaching him that it is important to take good care of Tazz. That way, this boy and his dog will stay good buddies for a long time!!
