He's between 6 and 8 years old and his eyesight is a little off, but it doesn’t slow him down. Big Foot loves to play with toys, chase the tennis ball, and roll around in the grass. He's fun to watch. Sometimes he bumps into things but I think it's because he doesn't realize his size and his eyes aren't what they use to be. Hence the Big Foot name.

He was found as a stray in Cape May, NJ, however, he seems like he must have been someone’s pet. His dewclaws are removed, and he’s friendly around kids and strangers. I'm not sure but he might have been a hunting dog and when his eyes went maybe whoever owned him let him go. That's just me speculating. He's also very familiar with a crate. He goes into it often, which makes me again guess that he was someone's pet at one time, and he must have been crated.

Big Foot walks well on a leash. He is an excellent car rider and will fall asleep in the back seat. When he is awake in the car he looks out the window and is very calm.

He’s an older guy, but he’s as sweet as can be. His fur is very soft and he doesn’t mind if you hug him, kiss him, or lift him. He loves to be petted and will lay with you to watch TV. My dog Sadie and him get along great. Sadie wants to play, but for now he has to take it easy since he's getting over heartworms. In a weeks time they'll be running around the yard causing racous.
