I feel like those ears need some attention.

Some scritches. Some tugs.

Better throw in a few belly rubs!

Sadly Buddy doesn't really like being touched. Anything more than a gentle pat on the head and he shows his teeth and gets a bit snappy. Touching his back or belly is definitely a big no no. We think he might have some trauma from when he was a pup, but we aren't sure of his whole history. I would love to scritch his big ears but I dont wan't to annoy him.

Nonetheless, he's very happy and has a loving home now!
