OKAY, SO HE JUST ALL AROUND IS A WONDERFUL DOG. YEAH. KIND OF LIKE THE UNICORN DOG THAT COMES IN, RIGHT. SO OKAY FOR EVERYBODY, IS THERE A PARTICULAR TYPE OF FAMILY YOU THINK SHE WOULD THRIVE WITH? ANYBODY THAT DOES NOT DOES NOT WANT TO BE IN THE SUN TOO LONG BECAUSE THEY DON’T LIKE TO BE IN THE HEAT THAT LONG. BUT AGAIN, BUT, BUT JUST SUCH A LOVE BUG. ELEANOR.
