Monte is a 2.5 year old male dog who is very curious. He spends his days laying on a bench that is right next to the picture window in the living room. When his owner comes home he promptly runs to the door in excitement, just like all normal dogs. However, he is able to channel his excitement, by picking up a toy and playing with it. I feel like normal dogs jump up and down, whine, and even bark when they get excited. He simply gets up, greets you at the door with a wagging tail, and then grabs a toy and walks away. He is very happy go lucky and gentle despite his size.
