![Sonny is a "very large" boy and described as having a "huge love for life". Despite being just one-years-old, he’s very strong on the lead so will need his new owners strong enough to hold him.

Sonny has previously lived in a family home, but the shelter feels he is best suited to a home with children aged eight and over due his bouncy nature.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjQzZTNmZjhlLWIwZWQtNGRmOC1iZTJhLTBhNDUwNWNiOGY0NTpjYjI0MTkyNy1kMThiLTRiNmItODNmZC0xZDkwMGIzZGQ1YTg=.png?crop=3:2&trim=&width=640)
