Thor is a 2yr old, 59lb black lab mix who is a bundle of love and fun! He loves walks, his Kong with treats or peanut butter, any kind of chew toys or stuffy. He loves to swim and play tug. Thor is great with other dogs his size or larger, he’s a bit scared of smaller pups. He will chase bunnies and squirrels, so cats wouldn’t be a good idea. Thor hasn’t really been around kids.
