I'm writing a book that takes place in Mexico. A Mexican lady says, "That poor little dog," speaking of a female dog.

My choice option is somewhere between Marianne's and Heidita's answers:

"Esa pobre perrita"

Gekkosan your choice looks exactly the same as Heidita's to me, I would go for this as well as I think Marianne is over doing the diminutives one is quite enough in my oppinion.

Thank you all for your comments and help. I'll have more soon. I've spent quite a bit of time in Mexico but my French is much better than my Spanish. - kayliejones, May 2, 2010
