Cardinal recently enjoyed a couple of "Doggy Day Out" adventures, spending hours exploring Forest Park and relaxing at an outdoor café. He proved to be a breeze out on the town! He is a dream to walk on a leash, moving along with a nice, loose lead and taking in the sights with polite curiosity. When seeing other dogs at a distance, Cardinal remained super cool and neutral, casually observing before moving right along. During new interactions with people, he stays remarkably calm, sweet, and friendly, taking everything in stride.

Around the house, Cardinal's personality shines bright. He is treat-motivated, eager to please, and already knows the command "Come." He shows zero guarding behaviors and has a comforting, quiet presence that immediately puts everyone at ease.
