Belly rubs? Oh yes! This little guy is all about those loving cuddles, and he’s eager to receive all the affection you can give. But there’s a little bit of a background story here: Bagel, along with his siblings, was unfortunately dumped and left to fend for themselves. 😢 However, that has not dampened his spirit!
