Yoshi is a friendly dog who approaches for food and attention. He can be a little aloof at times, but he is a spirited, happy and hungry little guy who blends in with other dogs well. He responds to his name and seems trainable. He already sits patiently when asked, if he knows he'll be rewarded with a treat. If he is nervous meeting someone, food can quickly make him feel more comfortable. He should be fed separately from other dogs, and his strong desire for food means he should not live with young kids. His ideal home is quiet and one in which he is pampered. He is vocal and an adopter needs to be understanding.

Then I go outside and come in and have my breakfast in my special slow chow bowl. After that I hang out for pets with my foster parent a bit before they leave for work.
