Foster Comments: Lewis needed to be hand fed when he first came to us as he had been bullied badly by his brother. He was very emaciated. Lewis now acts like one of the pack, eats very well, loves the daily pack walk and just being in the yard. Took Lewis a little time to trust people as he had few reasons to trust previously. Prey drive is moderately strong and he loves to watch any kind of bird he sees! His point is gorgeous.
