My girlfriend's dog is so cute

Here he is watching my girlfriend's sister take a photo of him. He is sitting on his own paws, I don't know what the meaning of that is in doggy body language, maybe hiding some of himself if he did something bold lol or maybe trying the position for comfort. Sometimes he'd eat something he isn't supposed to :)

I haven't visited their house with my girlfriend in nearly a year so we enjoy receiving updated photos of his antics. He's very lovable and energetic and responded positively to me as soon as he met me, so that was lovely. It's easier to start off like that rather than having to work to gain his trust
