He is such a love bug and would wish to be a lap dog if he could. We just find that we are not home enough to allow him to be is outgoing self. He loves to play but is sometimes too strong for us to play with him. Her has NEVER harmed or bit us. He is just powerful with his body weight. He is not leash trained as he pulls very hard and I am not strong enough to hold on to him. One thing to note is that he becomes nervous during thunder storms. He pants and drools a lot when they happen. I just feel that he would be happier with a family that can give him the attention he needs so he can live his life to the fullest.
