Dude is a huge dog with a personality to match. He’s got long, gangly legs and watching him run around the exercise yards is hilarious. We recently had a DNA test done on Dude and it turns out he’s a wonderful hodge-podge of several different breeds, and doesn’t resemble a single one of them! Dude gets along very well with some dogs, and is picky about others, so bring your dog in to meet him! He was cat tested and seemed a little afraid of them but showed no signs of aggression. We would recommend a slow intro with any cats at home.
