My Chocolate Lab "Dude" who just passed would have been my running for the last 15 years.

He joked around with me all the time, we like the same things, getting out, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping. Good workout partner too

He was a great wing-man with the ladies and could chill on the couch, watch the game without excessive talking and discussion.

Lastly he was laid back and very friendly but didn't take any sh#% or tolerate a bunch of BS.

ya, I would say he would be a good mate.
