Group Behavior

Mello was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around other dogs is unknown.

6/23-6/24: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Mello greets small dogs appropriately and wanders in the pen in a group of males and females. When seeing a large dog through the fence, Mello begins to growl.
