He has a special affinity for other dogs and formed a fast friendship with his foster brother. They love to play, chase, and then curl up for a nap together. Buddy enjoys toys, particularly balls and rope toys, although fetch is still a work in progress. A quirky habit of his includes relocating his foster's shoes for an impromptu lounging session, showcasing his playful yet non-destructive side. He's learned house training quickly and now knows to go to the back door when he needs out. At night, Buddy likes to snuggle up in bed before switching to a cooler spot on the floor. He's adapting well to car rides and has shown he's a smart, quick learner in his foster home. This sweet and affectionate young dog brings plenty of joy and humor to any environment.
