He is the only baby out of the 7 that survived all odds, and is striving which is how he got his name .. because he was such a Trooper! Trooper loves his momma and everyone he meets.. he’s a little frightened of cats but not aggressive with them at all. He loves his toys, and the squeakier the better. We let him and his momma loose in the shelter office to run and play and boy does he give momma Bayla a run for her money! He thinks he is the biggest boy of all time, even though he is just a wee little puppy. Trooper does have a lot of energy but is still a puppy and learning right from wrong. This boy would be best in an active family!
