It is apparent Buddha lived a very sheltered life before joining Coastal. He is easily startled by every day noises, which makes us wonder what kind of life he must have been living and it makes us sad to think that he wasn�t shown the love and affection he deserves. Since being with us, we have been steadily bringing him out of his shell. He has discovered the joys of belly rubs and kind words. He loves romping around the play yard at the kennel and has proven to be small dog friendly. It is our strong suspicion that he would do great with cats as well! They�d probably scare him with a simple hiss! He corrects easily, doesn�t pull on the leash, and is happy laying near your feet!
