What's up dog?

Always has a cheeky smile on his face and wants attention (without being g a nuisance - he knows when people/dogs don't want to say hello), and is agently old soul with puppies and children. Recently accepted to be a St johns therapy dog - 1hr a week volunteer at a facility. Winkys cheeky smile and happy personality helps to bring a smile on most people's faces.
