s. During the day, Oswald is full of life. He loves going on walks, playing tug-of-war, and chewing on his favorite rubber bone. At nighttime, he is a total cuddle bug who loves to fall asleep to nose kisses and belly rubs. One of our favorite quirks of his is how he smiles when he is super comfy (see the smiley picture
). Oswald is 53 lbs, but given his cuddly nature, sometimes forgets he’s not a lap sized dog.
He is a very smart dog, and is housebroken, leash trained, crate trained and knows all the basic commands (sit, wait, lay down, drop it, shake, spin/spin the other way, off, etc.) He grew up with toddlers/babies and is very good with them. He is also good with other dogs, but greatly enjoys playtime, so would probably do best with other playful dogs.
Overall, he is silly, loyal and full of heart. He has brought so much love and laughter to his temporary home and we’re excited for him to bring it to his forever home as well.
