If Torgito were a human, he'd surely have been a peaceful warrior in the 60s. This groovy guy is all about peace and love! Surely, he would have been the dude with a long beard, driving his VW van, wrapped in peace signs. He knows no enemies (both human and canine), and wants to be friends with absolutely everyone! His hunky good looks have made him a magnet when he's out and about. The Starbucks drive-through ladies swoon.
He's the total package. Easy on the eyes. And easy in the home! He is fully crate trained, housebroken and sleeps all night without a peep. He does request frequent potty breaks, but that's a pretty understandable request from an older gent with plumbing issues.
So back to the van, you'd surely find him in the McDonalds drive-through line if he could actually drive. Food is Torgito's love language! He will gladly enter his crate or do anything really, for a treat! A frozen peanut butter kong will keep him quite busy. And mealtimes bring him great joy. You should see his little hops.
He lives well with other dogs, makes a great brother and reads cues well. He just wants to be everyone's friend! Do you have a soft spot for this hunky guy?
