Foster Insights/backstory: Mike loves people and dogs. He doesn’t meet strangers and loves all the attention he can get. He likes to hug people. (He carefully puts his paws on your waist and wraps around you) Mike has never seen a puddle or pool he doesn’t like! He enjoys splashing and swimming. He loves to play with stuffed toys and zoom around the yard with them, but they don’t last long. He loves squeaky toys and bones. Mike has a lot of personality and is very loving and playful. He has had some basic training and would be easy to work with on more in-depth training. He loves to please his person. He is a happy guy that loves life.

Additional Info:
We think at some point he had some trauma to his throat and it causes him to have a cough every now and then.(like he has something stuck in his throat) He also doesn’t do well with a leash to his collar. He will choke and cough. He can wear a collar but we use a harness when we have him out and he does fine although he pulls a bit. I had a trainer tell me yesterday that she thinks a non pulling harness with the clip in the front may work well for him.
