Henry is so far an only dog. He lives with me and his human sister Rachel, 8 years old, who cannot be prevented from kissing him on the mouth; a little cat called Lilly who has deep reservations about him; and another human who used not to like dogs much but is beginning to admit that she quite likes Henry.

Actually everybody (except Lilly) likes Henry. Sometimes I can't get down the street because everybody has to pet him. I think he might be a good therapy dog one day but we have an awful lot of training to do first. We are currently doing an intermediate obedience class and hope to do a CGC test soon. Henry gets very carsick so we don't take him places much in the car, even though I know he would love to race and lure course.
