More: Bug is the best puppy! I got Bug shortly after losing my previous dog Layla (my best friend for 6 years). I was on a work trip in California and the thought of going home to an empty house was enough to drive me insane. I found Bug and picked her up and put her on a plane back to the East Coast. She’s been keeping me laughing ever since. Her favorite things are tennis balls, the bathtub, and any and every pair of shoes.
