Likevel lot vi oss sjarmere av den lille tassen med sløyfe.

Bow
Explanation:
How about: "We were charmed/delighted by the cute little doggie with the bow in his/her/its hair". Your description reminds me of the trend around celebrity-America, where people tote around those ridiculous, tiny "tea-cup" dogs all dressed up like a little Barbie doll; whereas it's not that common to see a bow adorning a larger (and more rugged) dog.
