More: He is 100 pounds and loves people, but is awkward around other dogs. He gets affection lavished on him by my wife and myself almost 24 hours per day. He is very attached to us and rarely leaves our side. He loves to swim, and rarely ever barks (only when the doorbell goes off or someone knocks on our door). He loves fetching and retrieving small bouncy balls, and loves tug-of-war. He is very strong.
