The Boston Terrier is cheerful, social and always ready for a laugh — he adapts to his owner whether that person is active or calm, and is equally at home in a city apartment or a busy family. He's affectionate without being demanding and gets along well with virtually everyone. His health deserves more attention than his appearance suggests.
