Bono the Patterdale x Terrier

Napoleon Bonaparte the Patterdale x Terrier

Napoleon Bonaparte aka Bono is under 2 years of age. He’s a Patterdale terrier cross.

Bono can be a little nervous of loud noises but that doesn’t stop him being friendly, even to visitors. His little tail wags furiously with excitement so he resembles one of those cute walking toy dogs!

He craves human contact and likes to be near you but needs encouragement to get on the sofa or lie on your lap, often preferring to just stay at your feet. I suspect that he was not kept indoors.

He’s vaccinated and wormed and will be neutered soon. He gets on brilliantly with my female dog and is beginning to learn to play with toys. He sleeps all night in his crate in my room and from the second night I’ve left the door open. He has not had a single accident indoors but has marked his territory a few times (always the same spot) when I’ve left him unsupervised. This will disappear after neutering and with a little more time.

Bono is a willing and obedient back seat passenger and also compliant with showering. He’s extremely gentle when hand-fed and shows no aggression to my own dog or during feeding. Bono is an easy, timid little dog who has settled in very well and is already forming attachments. He loves head rubs and closes his eyes in bliss.

As he’s gained confidence he now rolls over for tummy rubs too. Bono really looks a teddy bear when he sits down, as his back legs slump to the side. The pictures really don’t do him justice. I’d love to see this ‘little general’ find his forever home. If you think that you can be his Josephine (or Joseph!) please get in touch via Cork Dog Action Welfare Group.
