Otis is simply a hunka hunka burning love!  He is a true gentleman.  The two best adjectives would be "chill" and "cool"!  Seriously though, he is another gentle giant.  Good with other dogs, has never even let out a "low growl" with them.  Good with cats- pays no mind- has yet to chase either of my three.  Otis loves to play with rope toys, get belly rubs and if you will let him- he is happy to take up space on your couch!  He is kennel trained (although likes to bark for just a few minutes each night before he goes to sleep.. He is also potty trained, walks well on a leash, and knows sit, lay down,shake and responds well to the word no.  Otis was emaciated when he was found so he still has a few ribs showing but has gained 8 lbs. just by eating a balanced dies.  He also has some minor hair loss on his back side- due to flea bites that have since been taken care of.  Keeping him on a grain free diet will help the hair grow back and also assist with any allergies he may have as well!  He currently does not live with any kids, but we see no reason he wouldn't do well with kids 8 years of age and older!
