She loves all people and other dogs. Personality Watusi is a gentle, patient, submissive, and obedient girl. Very playful and affectionate, and gives copious kisses at every chance. She is well behaved, and understands what you want her to do. Her communication skills are better than some people. She is able to get her point across to both humans and other pets. She is no dummy! Her social skills are top notch too. She has amazing common sense, and we swear she knows what we are saying. She loves attention and always wants to be pet. She is a velcro dog who wants to stay near to people. Watusi is explorative, curious, and confident. She sits on your feet or comes up to sit right next to you. She rolls on her back for belly rubs when she sees you. She is very well crate trained, good on a leash, and housebroken. She is good in the car, and plays well with other dogs. Just an easy, level-headed, good girl who would make a great first dog. She will be fine in a multi-dog household or as an only fur child. Background Watusi was found at Wusson park in Houston in February where a volunteer was meeting with a potential adopter. Watusi ran up to them and made it clear that she wanted the volunteer to follow her by looking back at them as she walked away and barking intermittently when she paused. She led the volunteer back to a picnic pavillion where someone had left her a dog bed, open bag of food, collar, dog toy, and jug of water. She wanted water, and after the volunteer poured her some she drank a lot. Then she let her pet her and put on the collar. She had obviously weaned a litter but there were no puppies anywhere. Watusi willingly followed the volunteer back to her car where she let her pick her up and put her in. She waited patiently for the meeting to end, and then was quiet and calm in the car all the way home. Happy to have been saved. Compatibility  Other Dogs - yes ! Cats  - probably Kids -  yes
