Fitzhugh is a Maltipoo who lives with Deep Saini, president and vice-chancellor of Dalhousie University.
Name: Fitzhugh or “Fitzy” for short. One of my daughters named her after Louise Fitzhugh, who authored Harriet the Spy – my daughter’s favourite childhood book.
Nickname: Fitzy.
Breed: Maltipoo (cross between a Maltese and a miniature poodle).
Age: 13 years young!
Favourite food: Fitzy absolutely loves vegetables. If you open the crisper drawer of the refrigerator, she comes running instantly. She is especially fond of carrots and celery.
Special tricks: She understands a great deal of what we say and responds to several questions, including “do you want to go outside?” “do you want a treat?” and “do you want to take a bath?” (She almost always chooses the treat.)
Best quality: She has taught us so much about unconditional love.
Social media handle: While Fitzy doesn’t have her own dedicated social media account, she is often featured on Instagram @DalPres.
