If I were asked to describe Leo in one word it would be gentleman. Leo is loving, well mannered, gentle, loyal, people/dog/cat friendly and, sadly, deaf. But that doesn't stop him from doing a single thing. He runs with the other dogs I have here, jumps into my lap when I gesture him to and knows what's required of him from simple hand signals and facial expressions. Leo loves going for strolls and is good on the leash. He never bothers with other dogs and is quite happy to just walk alongside you. He's a good eater and is house trained. I believe that Leo would be the perfect companion for an older person, or couple, looking for a quiet and gentle dog to share their lives with.
