“I couldn’t ask for a better life coach,” gushes Danny Fang of his Tibetan Spaniel Gizmo, who inspired his innovative luxury dog leash brand, High5dogs, a winner of Lane Crawford’s The Next New 2016. “Gizmo has incredible emotional intelligence - he feels when people are upset and consoles them. When my wife Kelly and I argue, he comes in between us and makes us stop.”

The cuteness continues with Fang’s description of arriving home. “I might only get a brief kiss from Kelly, but from Gizmo I get a five-minute kissing feast. Even if I just went out to throw out the trash. Is that unhealthy?” he jokes.
