When he sees his human, he lights up instantly, hopping with excitement and leaning in for cuddles and attention.

He is incredibly sweet, deeply affectionate, and happiest when he is near his people.Ruben Humphrey has bounldess enthusiasm and curiosity. Walks are one of his greatest joys. His happy zig-zag trot and enthusiastic pace bring a sense of fun to every outing, and makes even a short walk feel like an adventure worth savoring.Ruben Humphrey has made remarkable progress in his foster home, learning to trust, cohabitate with other dogs, and is learning that sharing toys, treats, and human affection are part of being in a pack.
