   What makes him special? Many things... like his "staring" eyes, when he first jumps up on the bed in the morning. If you make eye contact with him, he will push up to be near your face, so I keep my eyes closed and wait him out until he decides I am still asleep. Then he'll lie down next to me and sleep. But one of the things that makes me love him most is his empathetic nature. He knows when you are hurting and makes every effort to make you feel better by licking and being exceptionally affectionate. His eyes show that he knows you are hurting. He is completely obedient, wants to be with you every moment and will lie by your feet wherever you are. He follows me around the house and stands waiting outside a door if I am inside a room. He has the best expressions, turns his head from side to side while looking at you and really makes eye contact. He is almost human in his responses. He gives so much love and it's so unconditional. He is also an expert frisbee catcher. Everyone that has ever met him has fallen in love with him, from the Vet who cares for his health to the groomers who clean and trim him. He loves to sleep on the bed in the morning with us... and will jump up and stare at us until we wake up... and then he smiles and all is well as he lies down beside us.
