who does this remind you of?

Yeterday I went through the traumatic experience of giving my dog to the dog hostel for 4 days as I have to travel for work and my hub is busy working for the India WEF summit in Geneva and has no time to look after Haruki until I'm back & he jets off to the Dubai summit. It's my 1st time leaving him alone and I am traumatised ESP since the feedback after one night is that he has puked and cried and is visibly stressed. Probably all my fault as I treat our dog like the child I don't have!

My colleague just returned from Japan gave me this toy pup as it looks like my little rascal - string at me all day long at work!
