When we first got Duke, he was the smallest and skinniest creature I have ever seen! He was so scared of everything and very uneasy everywhere he went. He was so skinny that when we went on a walk one day with him, a deer stopped and was walking towards us because it was so confused with Duke. He was more cuddly then. He would jump into your lap and sleep for hours! Now that hes muscular and more puppy looking, all he wants to do it play.
