No matter what he's up to, he manages to look incredibly charming. Cupid isn't reactive to dogs in the kennel unless another approaches him aggressively. If you already have a dog at home, a calm temperament will be important, and a meet-and-greet will be arranged to ensure everyone gets along well. He would do best with dog-savvy kids, simply because his enthusiastic presence might cause him to accidentally knock smaller children over. Give this boy a chance—you definitely won't regret it.
