You’d have quite an experience if you started scratching mine. He’d immediately fall in love with you and start leaning on you and rubbing you as hard as he could with his huge head. He’s sometimes hard to get away from when that happens. Eating dinner with him is also a bit of an experience with his head hovering about eight inches,above my plate and close to my face. I have to be careful not to turn my back on him when there’s food on the table. If you’re sitting in a chair, his head’s pretty much on the same level as yours.
Sounds almost as if he’s a full grown member of the family.
People can get very attached to their dogs. That’s mutually rewarding.
Thanks for tell us about your dog.
