Taupe is a very loyal Takoda, when him and his handler left to the wilderness he wouldn't leave her side. However when the two first met he was defensive, not letting her get close. But, after seeing her good intetions he let her get near and the two began to bond. He was also very protective over her, seeing anything or anyone near her as a threat and barking and growling at them immediately. Taupe is very kind once he begins to feel comfortable around you, he'll let you play with his fur and lay in it all afternoon. He'll stay awake in the night to make sure you two survive, and above all he'll keep you safe. He will whimper for hours if he wants attention, he absolutely adores belly rubs.
