He does, not dig holes he just loves to fetch for his ball. All he needs is one hour the most and is certainly teady to go home. He's a big dog and wants to be treated like a baby boy. Most lovable cutest Anerican Bulldog. He is is 5 years old. ❤️“

• “I’m not the biggest people person. 👀 However when people are patient and understand my nervous tendencies, I can eventually get over it and love you almost as much as I love my momma! As far as Dogs go, I can be a bit nippy as per my shepherd tendencies and I appreciate other dogs who can understand I nip with love! I actually go to daycare at Camp Bow Wow in Elmhurst and practically grew up in daycare back where I came from in Oklahoma. So with dogs, I’m a natural. Maybe that’s the problem is that I’m a bit too wild because I was raised by dogs!“

David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot.
