Shoko’s new mom sent me a note about her:

she is the smartest, most intuitive dog ever! And acrobatically very talented, a wonderful pouncer and bouncer. A great guard dog. The most well-mannered dog (without training!). Not one house-breaking mistake since day one! Social and friendly with other dogs, while maintaining healthy boundaries. I call her Chocolat Vesper Street (Vesper for James Bond's girlfriend, Street because she will always have that in her; a combination of Lady & the Tramp).
