It was getting dark, so the pictures aren't too focused. But his color looks pretty against the leaves.
Despite what you would expect from a dog with a background of such neglect, Chewie has excellent leash manners and comports himself very well in public! He's interested in smelling everything, and he's completely unphased by the sights and sounds of urban life.
One of my neighbors keeps several minature poodles out in the yard 24/7 (regardless of the weather). Today one of the poodles escaped from the fence and ran at Chewie snarling, with his teeth bared. But Chewie ignored the poodle like he was a gnat; he didn't even look at the creature, but just kept walking calmly. The poodle gave up when he got no reaction, and walked away, still barking. See, when a dog is kept outside 24/7 its whole life, you expect the dog to act like the poodle, not like Chewie. What a good boy!
