Story
Buddy has a lot of personality. He is very cuddly and loves to be hugged and given attention. However he tends to bark when you walk away and ignore him. He also tends to resource gaurd which can be a food bowl, or a humans lap. He likes to have his way and has clearly bullied humans in the past. He has never bitten and I have established alpha dog with him and he respects it. He needs a strong alpha human with no other dogs. He is old and really just needs a retirement home that likes to go on walks.
