Pirate is a great dog who makes everyone love him once they meet him. He is 10 years old now and has lived in the US, Denmark, and Canada with me, and been a loving companion the whole time! He can get a bit nervous with loud noises (garbage trucks, construction, etc.) outside, and it is likely best to keep him distant from other dogs outside as he will pull quite a bit and can get defensive depending on the situation. He's happy to play with his "Dog Perignon" toy and lay around the house enjoying your company. He is a sweet dog who was named "Loverboy" at the shelter before I adopted him, and I'm sure you will enjoy him!
