More cuddles
Dog school, so he can show how super smart he is - it will build his braves too!
A friendly resident dog who will show him how to dog!

Most of all, though, he wants to know he is safe and loved, where he belongs. In exchange he promises so many adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Is Sonny the one you see by your side?
