Lazare, a Papillon dwarf spaniel with stand-up “butterfly” ears, was born on December 4th, 1995, according to animal charity worker Anne-Sophie Moyon. He spent most of his life with the same owner until she died and he was then handed to the charity's shelter. Single mother Ophelie Boudol, 29, fell in love with the animal one year her senior at the shelter last month.
