Glendora asked Amy what she liked about her dog; That he gave such loving kisses. What else? He wags his tail when you ask him if he wants to go for a walk. What else? He barks when a stranger comes near me. He looks happy when I give him treats. What else? He appreciated the big birthday party I gave him when he was nine years-old. He loves me because I rescued him from the Humane Society.
