My neighbor's dog loves me... he knows that I understand him.

He's very sweet and gentle, but when I try to take him home he clamps onto my hand and refuses to let go. Like, it's so obvious he wants to stay with me it makes an awkward situation. It's not play either, he has the most pleading look in his eyes, and he doesn't make a sound...🥺

They treat him well, but it's not a good match, they got the wrong kind of dog. High intelligence with high energy doesn't fit everyone.
