During SAFER Rowber came into the assessment room, with loose body posture, he was friendly and social when interacting with the assessor. He allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Rowber was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resource portion of the assessment Rowber was easy to handle when engaged with the item.
