Shy, soft-spoken, serious and sincere: That's 15-year-old Andrew Leung at first impression so you wouldn't expect him to lead you down the garden path right out of the gate.... See our profile on Andrew in our profiles section.
They say that dogs are great judges of character, that when a dog rejects or accepts you it indicates how trustworthy you really are. If that's true (and a consensus of canine-lovers says it is), 16-year-old Sivansh is a keeper, an authentic soul, someone with whom you can connect, someone with whom you feel safe, and someone you'd appreciate having as your two-legged best friend.
