I have had two dogs in my lifetime and loved both of them to the absolute fullest. I am currently living with my dog ranger who is a Labrador Great Dane mix, and he is an absolute sweetheart. I take him on 2 daily walks for 30 min and make sure he has tons of toys to play with and I would do the exact same for your pup.
