At 5am, police in protective gear responded to a distressed homeowner dealing with an unexpected menace: Christopher, the 12lb Maltese/Shih Tzu mix infamous for his street name, Christo-FURY. Behind his fluffy exterior is a dog with opinions—and he doesn’t hesitate to let you know them, especially if you dare interrupt his sleep or challenge his authority. Christopher’s bark wasn’t quite tough enough for police work, but he’s fierce when it comes to laying down his own house rules. His rap sheet includes a dislike for men, children, strangers, delivery people, and anyone who thinks they’re getting a goodnight kiss. He can be charmed—if you happen to be a patient lady and know your way around a handful of cheese and chicken. He’s healthy overall except for a mild heart murmur that doesn’t require medication, and he’s sharp, non-shedding, and a surprisingly good walker. He might tolerate a calm canine roommate, but energetic dogs are not his style, and he absolutely does not get along with children. Christopher doesn’t want to be “fixed”—he’s earned his quirks and expects them to be respected. It takes a certain type of person to appreciate a dog who’s unapologetically set in his ways, but for the right home, Christopher is ready to keep the legend of Christo-FURY going. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
