Michael isn’t the type to fall for just anyone—he likes to be courted a little. A few kind words, a handful of treats, maybe a stroll at the dog park, and only then will he let his loyal, silly side shine. He’s big, affectionate, and isn’t shy about leaning his whole weight into his favorite person. Sometimes he’ll even flop against you like a melting pancake, soaking up all the attention he can get. Around the shelter, people call Michael a big teddy bear with perfect puppy dog eyes. He’s drawn to soft beds, a toy to chase, and he absolutely relishes a good sprint—he claims he’s the fastest dog around, and he’s serious about it. Michael picks up new tricks fast, especially if treats are involved, so a patient adopter who enjoys teaching would be a great fit. Handsome, clever, and energetic—he really is the full package.
