Around strangers, Garvey is friendly and will come up and sniff people and accepts pets. He has spent time with children that come in to the store and was reported as relaxed, respectful, and tolerant of children. With adults and children, he plays exuberantly. He has lived with a German Shepherd before all his life and was very relaxed and respectful. Garvey has not lived with cats so his behavior with them is unknown. He has not bitten a person or another animal.
