Muttley is just about the perfect dog. Of course, yours may be as well,
and I think dogs try hard to be whatever you want them to be. So if you
are confident and happy, as I am with Muttley, he responds by interacting
calmly and nicely with all the people and other dogs we meet.

I think you've done a great job socializing Muttley and making him a calm
and happy guy, in any situation.
