Story
I got Loki from a Pyrenees breeder. Loki's birthday is November 21, 2025. He's a very happy dog who loves attention. He loves to jump around and play, but I do not allow him to jump on people so he does know the difference. He loves his treats and his toys. Loki does great with other dogs and children. He was just introduced to a cat not long ago but he seemed to do okay. The cat was not a fan of him because Loki is pretty big and she's not used to big dogs.
