After playtime, he enjoys being petted, especially when he can Snuggle up and fall asleep next to his foster mom. His foster mom Affectionately calls him “her little buddy” because he loves being her sidekick. Even when playing outside with the other dogs, Duke frequently checks in with her for some extra LOVE. Duke has a submissive personality and is content to follow his sister, who is faster, larger, and stronger. Despite his past of being starved, Duke shows no food aggression and shares his food bowl with his sister without any issues. He loves meeting new people and wags his tail for everyone he encounters.
