Sonny is an excellent dog, who loves to play, especially fetch. He also enjoys dog puzzles and games. He is a good walker, though at times can be stubborn. He is an aggressive chewer, so we keep many chew toys close. I am rehoming him mainly because of his size and strength. I have had four back surgeries and have trouble walking and playing with him.
