King is a loving family oriented dog. He loves hard and he gets overly excited when he sees his loved ones. King does not like to share. He is very spoiled. He does not like loud noises but enjoys being rubbed. King does not like other pets but all your time on him. He is a great protector and lovessss kids. He is also a great sneaker eater. His name is the right name because he thinks he is the King. Lol!He also talks to you sometime in his language in which he sounds like Barry white the sponge because of his tone. He is a loveable family dog who loves being the only one noticeable. And very spoiled! I want him to in a happy and loving home.
