If you take it slow and get on his level Devin warms up quickly and is thrilled to have your attention. Devin enjoys getting pets and giving kisses - he tries to trust despite clearly having a rough start in life. If you raise a hand quickly or lift a stick to throw in the yard Devin will cower to the ground. When this first happened in the play yard his foster quickly knelt down to comfort him and Devin crawled into their lap.
