Hondo was... testy. (Or "old and cranky" as his humans said.) I did get to pet him once, though I did NOT get to throw my arms around him and bury my face in his fur like I wanted to. The second time I walked over to him he was moody and growled at me (which: INTIMIDATING AS HELL). I backed off and he got banished from the campfire to go sit near the trailer for a while and "think about his behaviour".
