Tatum is a rescued shelter dog who loves to jump every time he sees his neighbor, Greg. Greg became Tatum’s favorite person because he knows that Greg will always give him a treat if they come across each other outside.
Tatum’s human dad, Charles Lever, shared that Tatum could not contain his excitement each time he sees Greg because he knows that he will receive a doggy treat from him. True enough, Greg always has a biscuit in his pocket for the adorable brown dog whenever they come across one another in the neighborhood.

Charles believes that the reason why Tatum jumps is that Tatum thinks he will get to where he wants faster compared to walking or running like a regular dog. Charles described that his dog would lean far behind and jump straight up.
Charles laughed at the way Tatum jumps because he does not move forward that much. Charles’ wife, Nicole, asked their dog trainer what to do with Tatum because she finds it embarrassing to walk with a jumping pup, but all they were told just to laugh at their pet instead.
Charles shared that Tatum acts like a lapdog and does not know that he is, in fact, a big dog. Charles said that Tatum loves crawling right into their chests for a big cuddle.
Charles could not believe that a sweet dog like Tatum suffered from abuse and lived most of his life locked in a cage. Charles said that Tatum does not have any mean bone in his body and that he is grateful for every little good in his life.
The veterinarian said that Tatum should have been dead, but the couple is thankful that Tatum survived all the hardships he experienced. Charles and Nicole are happy that Tatum is now with them because they are excited to shower their dog with nothing but love and cuddles.
