Many dogs have a condition nicknamed “Frito Feet,” in which their feet smell little bit like corn chips. As Matt Soniak wrote in a Big Question on this site, this has to do with the kind of bacteria found on a pup’s feet, and “could be due to yeast or Proteus bacteria. Both are known for their sweet, corn tortilla–like smell. Or it could be Pseudomonas bacteria, which smell a little fruitier—but pretty close to popcorn to most noses.”
Due to his large size he can only live with children over the age of 12.
The RSPCA added: "He needs a person or family with experience of large dogs and who are prepared to give him the exercise he needs and to take him to training classes."Roderick is a lovely natured boy but, because of his past experience in living with another dog, we are looking for a home where he will be an only dog, and no cats please as we can’t guarantee that he is cat safe.
