As others have said, different animals have different personalities. Most of the animals we have are afraid of Jasper, except for our 100 lb Golden Retriever, who would be happy to "retrieve" him. Consequently, the dogs are never left alone with Jasper.
Here's Boomer with Jasper (supervised only!).
This was right before Percy (cat) passed away, so he really wasn't interested in anything.
Here's Boomer, Jasper, and Chris.
I'd say just be careful. Be wary. Puppies are playful!
