Melvin (we call him Marty) is awesome. A total sweetheart. Gets along with our other dogs great. Very well behaved. A total cuddle bug. The only trouble we have with him is he is an escape artist and likes to run away when he gets out of fence. He has gotten away and lost a few times causing a lot of worry. I recently got him a gps collar so we can track him when he escapes, and it is a lifesaver. We love him dearly. Thanks for checking on him.
