Duke was let loose in Selah. People recognized him and pointed out the owners, who ignored Selah ACO in an attempt to return him. When Duke came to me, he was very eager for attention. It seemed he didn't know how to be a dog. After inviting him into our home, he settled in very quickly and showed us how smart and trainable he is. He's a big lover boy and loves to wrestle with other dogs and people. He definitely wants to please people and thrives on loves rather than treats as rewards.
