Cornflakes likes food, and getting under people's feet. He especially likes getting under people's feet if they have food, on the offchance they might drop some. He's a tricky one, and will need a fair bit of persuading to behave - but he will, for the right price.

He is given to Michael to as a medical assistance Toki. Michael is initially a little uncertain about this arrangement, but is soon won over by Cornflakes's determination to help, and they become good friends. Cornflakes helps to fetch and carry things (mostly the right things, though sometimes he gets confused) and barks for help if he senses Michael is looking shaky on his feet.
