Taka is recovering quickly, and his personality starts to come out. He likеs belly rubs and cuddles. He is a huge food lover. Martin is very happy to meet Taka every day when she goes to work. However, in a long run, she thinks he had better find a new family who can provide him individual care.
Best wishes to Martin and Taka.
