Dolce is a very good judge of character and just like his human, he loves family. To be clear, his definition of family includes anyone that has a treat, a leash, or a tennis ball. Coming to a law firm can be stressful for some people, and Dolce helps by being a soothing companion. Some even say he's like a “therapy dog” for the office.
