About this J.P. Dog:

Miso is a nearly three year old Bichon Frise. (Continue for 4 more photos of Miso…)

About this J.P. Dog’s human: 

Miso lives with his human Trinh, and her sister Amy, near the Jamaica Plain Arborway where they’ve lived since early 2014.

Does your J.P. Dog have any funny quirks, odd behaviors, or defining characteristics?

I know everyone says this about their dogs but Miso is a very smart dog! He was taught and knew many tricks all before turning 1! On top of knowing his basic commands (sit, down, stay, etc), he knows how to play dead, roll over, spin, speak and give high fives! He even rings a bell when he needs to go outside for a potty. We have also been working on strengthening his back legs to “dance” (ie. stand and go back and forth on his back legs) and on his front legs to do a handstand! When not impressing everyone with his smarts, Miso loves to sleep, play, and cuddle his little head in the nook of your neck.

What do you love most about your J.P. Dog?

That despite being a silly brat sometimes, he is the biggest sweetheart!
