He allowed the handler to pet him with no issue, his body was relaxed, his eyes were soft, his tail wagged neutrally and his mouth was open with a soft pant. He displayed no concerning behavior or aggression. Anytime the handler called him over, he ran to her with a loose body and solicited affection. Overall, Oso was tolerant of being pet.
