He loves hearing how handsome he is, and it truly boosts his spirits. Bruce does well with most dogs, thriving in the company of furry pals who share his adventurous mindset. While he hasn’t interacted much with cats, slow introductions are recommended since he’s curious but not used to feline companions.
