Superpowers:
- making you feel guilty eating your own food
- walking in a manner that makes passers by say "Aaaah...how old is he?" without fail
- Tracking his mummy wherever she moves...unless upstairs
- Getting daddy in trouble with mummy by faking injury when he walks past me (I'm not joking)
- Eating treats with 7 teeth missing
- Aging (he's 14)
Weaknesses
- Bowels and back legs 😬
- Stairs and steps
- Running (but its so cute when he tries ❤️)
- The vets (however his bowels become a superpower in the vets to distract them)
