Lap dogs are tiny pooches who will happily spend their days glued to you. Many were bred hundreds of years ago to do just that: sit on their owners and look pretty.
Ideally, lap dogs live in homes where they don't have to be left alone for long periods. These dogs enjoy being close to their people so they may even become destructive if left alone for too long.
