Hiking trails are his playground, where he can indulge in his innate herding instincts and revel in the freedom of the open air. However, Dyn isn't content with just leisurely strolls; he craves purpose and stimulation.

To keep his agile mind engaged and his boundless energy in check, Dyn requires a fulfilling job. Whether it's assisting with tasks around the home or participating in activities alongside his companions, Dyn thrives when he has a sense of purpose.
