Sweet Boy
Bandit is a hound mix. As a result, he definitely keeps an eye on the wildlife. He is accustomed to staying outdoors, but loves every opportunity that you give him to come inside. He's very bouncy and playful and has such a sweet look in his eye. He can sometimes be goofy and dramatic as well.
