I really love him, and it has been worth the small amount of effort to get him to this point. He loves running around in the yard, but also likes to give a regal pose for pictures! He also loves playing with his cousins(my daughter's two dogs, also adopted). His favorite toy is his stuffed "dolly" which he throws around and shakes. I'm glad I gave him a chance. Thanks, Dusty's Mom(Annette)
