But even after all that, Onyx is still hanging in there with his signature Eeyore-style charm. Onyx is the quiet soul of the group. While the others bounce around, he’s content to watch from the sidelines with his big, thoughtful eyes. He’s gentle, a little mopey in the cutest way, and has that “old soul in a puppy body” vibe.

If you’re the type who appreciates a mellow pup with a sweet, slow-motion personality, Onyx might just be your perfect match.
