Love Language: Netflix and cuddle, kind words, a full bowl, and a soft bed.
Loves: The wind in his fur, soft beds, binging Crossing Jordan (the early 2000s gold standard in crime drama), sniffari in the yard, playing puppy games with friends. Would love to go for a ride in a motorcycle sidecar.

Earl is the best of the best. He is chill, funny, sweet, and always up for hanging out. He is a potty pro and knows that outside is the only place to be. He is food motivated, so he will do what you want him to do if a snack is involved.
