Let your friends know and find out what dog breeds they are!
“The Maltese dog was a lapdog favored by both the ancient Greeks and Romans, especially their children, and appears on amphorae with the word Μελιταιε (Melitaie).[9] References to the dog can also be found in Ancient Greek and Roman literature.[10] Aristotle mentions the dog around 370 BC. Early writers attribute its origin to Melita, however, there were two islands named Melita at that time with one being in the Mediterranean and the other being in the Adriatic sea near Dalmatia, which confuses where the dog originated from.[11][4] Strabo wrote about the Canes Melitei that came not from Malta but from a town named Melita in Sicily, which is in contrast to English writers who give Malta, as the place of origin,[12] considering that Melite is also the old name of Mdina, the former capital of Malta.” – Wikipedia
