Been an asthmatic for over twenty years and have Chihuahuas for five. Pebbles sleeps in bed with us every night..She is very beneficial to my good moods.. But does nothing for my asthma or allergies!

Some claim this is a myth, but I know it is true because I have seen it with my own eyes. I would suggest you google "Chihuahuas and asthma" or "Chihuahuas and allergies" or something similar.
