My Friends' Boston Terrier Sophie

I am posting about a Boston Terrier because my friends have a cute little puppy named Sophie.
Boston Terriers aren't supposed to be hyper, but my friends' dog Sophie is.

Me and my friends hide from Sophie and she comes squeaking after us to try and find us.

Here are three facts about Boston Terriers:
1. Boston Terriers ears start out bent but then they are cropped.

2. Boston Terriers shouldn't exercise strenuously on hot days because they are prone to heat stroke.

3. The Boston Terrier's nickname is American Gentleman.
