DESCRIPTION
Hi, my name is Cowboy. I might sound tough, but I'm actually a pretty shy guy. New people and new places can make me a little nervous, so I like to hang back and take everything in before I decide it's safe.
Once I warm up, though, I'm as loyal as they come. I stick close to my favorite people and feel happiest when I'm quietly by their side. I'm not the loud, attention-seeking type - I show my love in small ways, like a gentle nudge of my nose or sitting near your feet.
I just need a little patience and kindness, and I promise I'll be your most devoted friend.
