Pet Spotlight: Wilma the Maltese

We met Wilma on a walk around Fort Greene Park, looking fetching in her small, pink harness.

Wilma is about 6 years old. Her owner, Welly Lai, became her permanent caretaker when the pooch’s previous owner (a friend of Lai’s) moved into an apartment building that doesn’t allow pets. But Lai said she couldn’t be happier about the turn of events, because she adores Wilma.

Lai describes Wilma as an “alpha female.”

“She’s sort of territorial and she gets angry fast,” Lai said. But when we meet Wilma she was friendly and perky.

“She loves going out and walking around the park,” Lai said. “I’d say that’s probably one of her favorite things to do.”
