I have a dog, and he's quite the cuddly type, playful and is asking for attention all the time! If he sees you with another dog while you are not in backyard he will whine and bark, tho if he's few cms away from you he will attack u with love! And attackish other dog out of jealousy + whine and bark again.
He's always friendly and even if a thief shows up he would probably just give him love.
He also eats a lot and fast! But he's also really picky about food and sometimes he waits till you leave so you don't notice he's eating!
I also had 2 cats, sadly I had to put one to sleep and another disappeared after going out of backyard.
