Obvious facts about puppies:

They might be really cute and fluffy.

But that isn’t just the case.

Because they are different behind that face.

They know when to attack and fight.

And it could give you a fright.

Sometimes it attacks for no reason or even if it’s a little annoyed

Because they love to stay in their own void.
