He runs around the house and doesn't always feel the need to be near me, but if I take a shower or something that involves me being in a different room than him, He'll whimper and try and paw his way under the door and into the room. Why did he get attached to me? Could it have been the car ride?
He sees you as his protector. Try working on getting him used to being apart from you. Do you mom and dad feed him his meals? Who takes him for walks? An idea of your daily routine with him will help us! He loves you, this does not need to be a bad thing!
