He goes out for his walks, which he absolutely loves. He sniffs, explores, takes it all in. Despite his hunting instinct, he is cooperative. Even when he walks with his nose to the ground, he does not pull much and he always keeps you in mind. He knows you are out there together, and that matters to him.
Then he shows you a couple of the commands he knows, and right after that he throws himself onto the grass, rolling over again and again, full of excitement. He is very happy, and very funny.
Torino has been with us since he was a puppy. He has gone to a home twice, and both times he came back. There was no serious issue. Just the enthusiasm of a young, active dog who needs patience and clear guidance, so that this energy is directed in the right way outside the home, with proper exercise, and also managed inside, so he can learn how to settle.
He is a very good, sweet, and gentle dog. We believe he will truly shine with the right family, one that will help him enjoy all the things he loves. He gets along very well with other dogs, male and female. He is patient and kind.
And he is beautiful too. Those soft, expressive eyes are just as striking today as they were when he was three months old.
