Jake will occasionally walk over to one of his family members and place his face in their lap or right up in their face to comfort himself that they haven’t left him alone. He does it as often as every five minutes at times, yet his family is never irritated. They never fail to tell him that he is cherished and secure.

Jake will always locate someone, no matter where they are in the home…

“Even though he can climb stairs, he just waits for me to carry him up and down the stairs when I take him for a stroll,” Fernandes said. “He’s the most laid-back dog I’ve ever seen.”
