well , after reading yours, i suppose I should clarify. Zero is independent in the aspect that he doesn't like to be held or put on the bed , etc. Whereas my friend's pitbull Rex (who is so adorable it's not even funny) will jump on my friend's lap while he's on the keyboard and fall asleep.

But zero does like belly rubs And loves to be exercised, he really does love human companionship. he will follow me around if he knows 1 of 2 things: i'm getting something to eat, or i'm going to walk him or play with him in the backyard. BUT, he will literally run away if he knows I want to pick him up to snuggle him...(this is actually hilarious, i'm the only one in my family who can still pick him up and he hates it...he looks so helpless and puts his pathetic face on lol) gotta get a picture of that too...
