When he meets someone new, he likes to observe, consider his options, and determine whether this particular human deserves access to his heart.<\/p>\n\n<p>He has standards, after all.<\/p>\n\n<p>But once Dante decides you&#8217;re trustworthy, the situation changes considerably.<\/p>\n\n<p>Suddenly, there&#8217;s a very important matter to discuss.<\/p>\n\n<p>Chest rubs.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dante is a devoted enthusiast of chest rubs, cuddles, and the kind of affection that makes a dog close his eyes and forget about the rest of the world. He also appreciates a comfortable bed, preferably one that allows him to recover properly from the exhausting responsibilities of being adorable.<\/p>\n\n<p>He&#8217;s playful with other dogs, enjoys their company, and has a medium energy level. He likes having opportunities to play, but he&#8217;s equally happy settling down for some well-deserved relaxation.<\/p>\n\n<p>His story began in circumstances no puppy should ever experience.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dante and his three siblings were abandoned outdoors when they were still babies, left on a blanket with no one to care for them. Two of his siblings did not survive. Dante and one other puppy fought their way through those difficult early days.<\/p>\n\n<p>Perhaps that helps explain why Dante is careful about giving his trust.<\/p>\n\n<p>But it certainly hasn&#8217;t stopped him from wanting to love.<\/p>\n\n<p>Today, Dante knows \u201csit,\u201d \u201cstay,\u201d \u201ccome,\u201d and how to walk nicely alongside his person. He&#8217;s a clever, well-mannered boy who would thrive in a home with a patio, friendly dogs, and people willing to give him the patience and affection he deserves.<\/p>\n\n<p>Cats, however, are not on his guest list.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dante doesn&#8217;t need someone who expects instant devotion from the first hello.<\/p>\n\n<p>He needs someone who understands that some of the best relationships begin slowly.<\/p>\n\n<p>A little patience.<\/p>\n\n<p>A little kindness.<\/p>\n\n<p>A comfortable bed.<\/p>\n\n<p>And perhaps a hand conveniently positioned for chest rubs.<\/p>\n\n<p>Because once Dante gives you his heart, you&#8217;ll understand why he was worth waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dante doesn&#8217;t rush into relationships.
