I may be 6, but don’t let that fool you — I’ve mastered the art of being the perfect mix of chill, affectionate, and always happy to join whatever you’re doing. I love walks, fresh air, and being part of the action, but I’m just as content relaxing nearby, keeping you company like the devoted best friend I was born to be.

I notice everything. I feel everything. And once I know I’m safe? I love with my whole heart. I’ll gently follow you around, lean into you for comfort, and look at you like you’re my entire world.
