Sturdy and not easily fazed by most anything that he comes across, Eli prides himself in his confidence that he can stand against any issues that block his path. He was certified as a therapy dog to help other dogs through their challenges, whether it be deafness, blindness, or some other ailment that requires an extra paw. He's a good listener and a gentle soul. Most people's only complaint is that Eli can be rather slow to take action against being wronged. Whether it was himself or one of his charges who was impacted, Eli prefers not to rush into things which can cause some problems. He says it's because it is always best to put thought into these decisions. Some people take it as a sign of laziness.
