We played ball all day so I took him down with me. Little tiny kids were cuddling up to him, feeding him all sorts of things, leading him around and playing fetch with him. I had no clue how he'd behave with them but after the first few pulled his ears a bit and stuck their fingers in his mouth he proved he absolutely loves the attention of small humans! He got more hugs today than I'm sure he's ever had before and didn't mind a bit, so one big hurdle's been passed. He pulls hard on the leash for me when walking though and is so strong it's hard on the arm and shoulder - and everything else! to hold him, so I've ordered one of those humane head halter things. I don't think he's ever been led. Really pleasantly surprised with how he behaved at the ball games ........ he's totally worn out now and zonked out dead to the world.
