Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hey there, folks! I'm Walter P. Vogelsburg, your not-so-typical canine sidekick with a heart as big as my paws. I'm your friendly, goofy canine companion, always ready to bring some joy into your life.
I'm not just any dog; I'm the kind that loves affection more than anything. I don't always realize how big I am, so sometimes I think I'm a lap dog. I'm a big softie, and there's no limit to the belly rubs and ear scratches I can handle.
Give me a spacious backyard, and you'll unleash the full potential of my playful spirit. I'm all about running around, chasing after anything that moves, and having a blast in the great outdoors. A big backyard is like a dream come true for me - the perfect playground for a dog with energy.
Now, I must admit, I can be a bit strong on the leash during walks, but I'm getting way better at slowing down! It's not that I'm trying to lead the way; I'm just too excited to explore the world around us. With a bit more training, we can conquer the streets together, one paw at a time. Intelligence? Oh, you bet! I've got the basics down like sit and down. I almost have shake mastered too. And if you're up for it, teaching me new tricks is a game I'm always ready to play. Smart, trainable, and eager to please - that's me in a nutshell.
So, if you're on the lookout for a goofy, affectionate, and playful companion who's also a bit of a character, I'm your guy. Let's embark on this tail-wagging adventure together, where every day is filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of fun!
