Mathilda is an exotic beauty who looks to be a breed all her own. A touch of Schipperke? Some terrier? A hint of Malayan sun bear? It all adds up to a dazzling sweetheart in a deep chocolate fur coat with matching toreador pants and thick lush tail, glowing hazel eyes and velvet ears. She could be the heroine of an ancient parable or the girl next door. Either way or both, she is gracious and kind, ready to make friends and prepared to impart some quiet wisdom. Have TLC? She’ll travel.
