A dog of small size.
문화적 배경
In Budapest, 'kis kutya' owners often gather in specific 'dog-friendly' parks like Szent István park. Small dogs are seen as fashion accessories but also as serious companions. In villages, dogs are traditionally larger guard dogs. A 'kis kutya' in a village is often a 'házőrző' (house guard) that alerts the family to visitors, rather than a lapdog. Dogs appear in many folk tales, often as loyal helpers. The 'kis kutya' is usually the clever one that outsmarts the wolf or the bear. Hungarian social media is full of 'kis kutya' influencers. There is a specific brand of humor involving 'talking' small dogs that use human slang.
