Dodgeball really is a dodge ball.... He is so sweet and wants love and affection but will need time to adjust. I pick him up and cuddle him and he likes it but I don't think he understands yet that humans can love dogs. I sometimes keep him on a leash to walk with me and get used to me. He loves sleeping with me and he comes to check on where I am and see what I am doing. He will wag his tail at me to tell me he is happy I am still there. He will need at least one other social dog or just a person who will dedicate their love to him. He is a little shy about eating in front of me but does love his wet food and real chicken. Once you explain to him about love, you will have a fantastic bedmate!
