My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Newton is house-trained and well-behaved when left alone. He gets along well with his teenage foster-human siblings. He is curious, loving, gentle for his size, big teddy bear, couch potato when indoors but also loves being outside.

Once you start giving him pets, Newton will immediately drop to the ground and roll over so you pet his tummy. He also shows affection by putting his head down and resting his forehead on you. For such a big guy he's very sweet and gentle with people and his toys.
