Although he may be initially reserved, his loyal and affectionate nature shines through once he feels secure in his environment, making him an ideal companion for those who appreciate the quiet beauty of a Greyhound mix. Personality Traits Cunningham is the epitome of a timid yet loving rescue dog.
