Meet Ronin 🐾

Named after the "free samurai," Ronin lives life on his own terms. Loves a belly rub, passionate about food, believes every meal should be shared with him, he enjoys announcing his opinions to other dogs, and has a wonderfully inflated opinion of himself. Fortunately, he's much better with people than he is with his fellow canines. He has been in session by request.
