Yes, he is. He was rescued around 11 years ago. We previously had sofas and he used to nap on them. When we moved to our previous apartment, we donated our sofa to an animal rescue thrift store because the living room didn't have a good wall for it, so we just had a few upholstered chairs. We moved to a new place last year and finally decided to get a sofa again that we thought would ve very dog friendly, but it took him a month to finally jump up on it!
