A Chihuahua dog has won the hearts of internet users by wearing sunglasses in her photos in recent weeks. Four-year-old Apolo lives between Lisbon and Evora in Portugal. In addition to the accessory, the dog also appears on social networks wearing hats and scarves.

Apollo the dog is sensitive to light

Although Apolo sunglasses are a stylish accessory that attracts attention when worn by a dog, they also have another purpose.

In fact, the Apolo breed is sensitive to light, and the accessory provides the dog with greater comfort. Check out photos of Apolo below:

According to his owner Ana Carona, the animal needs sunglasses due to problems with light. “The Chihuahua breed is very sensitive to light and wind, and for this reason, as well as on the recommendation of the veterinarian, she has been wearing glasses since childhood,” he explained – Reproduction/Facebook/Ana Carona.

Ana said that when the pet came into her family, she did not have much knowledge about the breed and that expert advice was very important. “The veterinarian has always been very supportive in Apolo’s growth and development” – Reproduction/Facebook/Ana Carona

The owner noted that accessories for the dog are sold on many sites, and she does not need to make them to order. “This way I buy glasses and various accessories, which makes the process faster and more economical” – Reproduction/Facebook/Ana Carona

Apolo is part of a family of four dogs, but is the only Chihuahua. “In my family there is a mother, father and son of the German Spitz breed, which does not require wearing glasses” – Reproduction/Facebook/Ana Carona
