Owner: Ellen Schindler
Hometown: Auckland, WA
Likes: food and his two can openers, hunting for dry food

He is as devoted to us than we are to him. He loves company and tries to be around me while gardening, cooking, exercising..... We taught him to hunt for his dry food, 1/3 of it is hidden all around the house, 1/3 put into his ball with a hole and the other 1/3 we throw and he chases it.
