He spent the day taking in plenty of exciting scents, soaking up the fresh air, and enjoying the sunshine on his face. Along the way, he had time to relax, roll around in the grass, and soak up tummy rubs and lots of back scratches from his human friends. He also showed off his excellent manners, remaining completely calmand unfazed as he strolled past groups of children, geese, dogs, and turkeys.What to know about this dog:• Loose leash walker – A perfect gentleman with zero pulling and constantly checking with his humans• A giant sweetheart who thinks he's a lap dog - He is incredibly sweet and highly cooperative with handling - perfectly comfortable having his ears and paws touched.• He may take a polite second to warm up to the leash, once he was leashed, he was ready to start his adventure• Unsure about the car at first and needed a minute to build up his bravery, but once we got moving, he settled right in -Following his walk, he hopped right into the car without a fuss,immediately settling down to rest comfortablyThree words to describe me:Easygoing, Gentle, Swee
