Hmm yes very similiar!...
...only peruvian's are quite bigger, ......and have longer ears,...... and they have longer hair, oh.......and they can actually be used for packing around things.... (thinking)....and they learned to spit in your eye.
Other then that, I think they are just alike!

Volkswagen....

da nerve of some people! *shakes fist*

All my pets are named after Dragonlance characters, except for my pure white cu, which I just got this past weekend and haven't thought of a name for him other than "Frost". Though Frost was the human name of a white dragon in Dragonlance, but I don't really think it fits for a white cu.

Some of the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

Rune Beetle - Caramon (because he's big and brawny)
Mare - Raistlin (because he casts magic, and I always use him with Caramon. And Caramon takes all the hits.)
White Wyrm - Gellidus
Ice Blue Cu - Riverwind
Copper Cu - Trigger (not a Dragonlance, but I had a golden retriever named Trigger that I just lost to cancer last year, so it was a tribute)

I know I've also got pets named Flint, Taslehoff (had to take out the extra 's' because apparently Tasslehoff is an inappropriate name), and Goldmoon, but I can't remember what type of animals they are.
