He is gentle, outgoing and friendly, but he does not know his size. Towards other dogs, he is friendly. King loves to play tug and with balls, and he loves to run, but doesn't mind a good cuddle afterwards. During his (second) stay, King has been nothing short of a mush! He has sought attention and was a social butterfly. King is all you can ask for in a dog. All he needs now is a new throne! Come save King and treat him like the royalty he is! A volunteer writes: What an absolutely lovely companion! King and I spent a long time under the canopy in the backyard while it rained cats and dogs (sorry, I couldn't resist). He is a big guy but also a big baby. King is as sweet as can be, a very gentle soul. He spent most of the time leaning on my lap trying to figure out what the rain was and where it was coming from and periodically nuzzling me. Come meet this wonderful boy at Manhattan ACC.
