It doesn't take a lot to make him happy, but at the top of that list is dinner time. He is fed at the same time twice a day, but he lets us know about 2 hours before it is officially dinner time. He hangs out very close and will gaze at us with very loving (and hungry) eyes. He is very careful not to beg - he simply wants to make sure there is zero chance anyone would forget to feed him. In his eyes, he is helping us. :)\r\n\r\nDog food is expensive, and your support helps relieve that pressure. The lint rollers we were able to purchase also means that staff and students can love on him as much as they want and not worry about walking around with fur all over them.\r\n\r\nThere are so many ways in this world where people can show their support.
