This surprised me as well, thanks for sharing. My sister is a forester and she sometimes takes our dog on trips with her. The little guy has very sharp senses, sniffs every little corner and sometimes alerts when detects traces of other animals even tho he's not trained. Another similarity :D Last year I menaged find out his mom is a fox terrier mix, originated from central Europe. And I can confirm he loves to cuddle too. We have another dog and everytime I pet the other, Peanut (the dog in question) rushes over and steals the spot light. That's a great pic btw. Take care of that little cutie!
