I am Pepito, I am a Yorkshire terrier. My size is as small as it gets, but my heart is as massive as it gets. I was born in 2021 and soon afterwards I joined Anna & Ignatios' activities. Over time, I became a pint-sized professional. I weigh 4–5 pounds and specialise in targeted nap assistance.

 

I am also very good at precision lap warming. I take my comfort duties very seriously because I know the best medicine comes in small packages. I do encounter problems in my job - for example, I am short enough to trip over and I have to hide away from little kids who think I am a toy and do not understand I have a PhD in making people feel better, maintaining a 100% success rate in making people smile.

 

Side effects: baby talk from fully grown adults.
