Fitzhugh is a Maltipoo who lives with Deep Saini, president and vice-chancellor of pilipiliĀž»­.

Name: Fitzhugh or ā€œFitzyā€ for short. One of my daughters named her after Louise Fitzhugh, who authored Harriet the Spy ā€“ my daughterā€™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 ā€œdo you want to go outside?ā€ ā€œdo you want a treat?ā€ and ā€œdo you want to take a bath?ā€ (She almost always chooses the treat.)

Best quality: She has taught us so much about unconditional love.

Social media handle: While Fitzy doesnā€™t have her own dedicated social media account, she is often featured on Instagram .
