Otti is a happy 9 year old boy, he loves; to play, to go on walks or hike, to go to the doggy park, and most importantly to cuddle. He does well with kids but usually better with ones over 6, hyperactive kids can make him nervous. He can get lonely and requires a good amount of attention and affection. Makes a good lap dog. He is not an outside dog and gets cold easy so usually wears sweaters or cuddles under blankets. He can be vocal. But overall he is very active and happy and is a great companion. Gets along really well with other dogs and likes to cuddle with them too. Otti just loves to be loved. I would have loved to keep my little guy, but I moved about 6 months ago and started my career, causing me to have to work long hours. Unfortunately, he is not adjusting as well as I'd hoped and has been lonely with just us two. I just want him to have a good and loving home where he can get all the love and affection he deserves.
