A home with very young children who frequently run toward dogs or have difficulty respecting a dog’s space may not be the best fit, as sudden approaches can make him uncomfortable. Milky is the type of dog who quietly captures your heart. Allow him a little time to adjust, and you’ll gain a devoted companion eager to share life’s adventures—and your couch—with the people he loves.
