Yes ... when I think about possibly having a dog in my future, I find myself thinking about the problems in handling an older larger dog if I myself become somewhat infirm. Our naighbor down the street will clearly be having some issues that way with Vanessa soon, if he doesn't already (he's elderly and not too steady on his feet himself). But then I've had dogs before, even though they were small.
It's interesting that no one has made that guess about your heritage before, but it's true that the Latino population of this area has been growing, and so people may not have been so aware of it (same when you lived in Philly).
I've known several mixed Asian/Caucasian men (no women before, for whatever reason), so the way the features tend to go isn't strange to me: my high school friend Alfred Sturtevant's mother was from Burma, and one colleague who was German-Hawaiian himself (another former military child) identified another colleague of ours as "that tall Asian guy," and something finally clicked: oh yeah, so he is!
Mugen in the manga is very proud and up-front about his heritage.
