Bugsy came to us because his owner truly loved him and wanted him to be her service dog in order to keep him. Unfortunately he, like most Great Danes aren't really meant for that. That being said, he will make an absolutely amazing family member. He loves to play with the dogs but does forget his size sometimes. He has seen kitties that scared him at first so he had to use his big boy growl but now they don't scare him much. Great with tortoises. lol He is an all around great boy. when he gets scared or uncomfortable he growls but we are working on his confidence and he is doing great!
