On a warm, but drizzly, Sunday afternoon, Toronto's Ramsden Park was buzzing with the soft pitter-patter of tiny paws as about 50 Chihuahuas gathered for a meetup organized by Diana, the force behind the Toronto Chihuahua Club. Walking into the park, I expected a chorus of yaps and a ton of chaos. I spent time with Cooper on the sidelines, chatting with his owner, who adopted him when the small dog was just two. Other than fostering a sense of togetherness for both the parents and their dogs, Diana mentions another very heartfelt impact the group has had on the local canine community. Ramsden Park, for that afternoon, felt like a tiny universe where awkwardness was not just accepted but put on a tiny pedestal and celebrated.
