Cinco: pet or toy?

We let Cinco in the house a few days ago so that Oaklee could pet him. (he actually just came in on, invitation or not) So Jason was holding Oaklee's hand and petting Cinco's head with it, and he was just sitting there as happy as could be. He is SUCH a good dog, still very puppy-like, but a great dog nonetheless. Then Oaklee figured out that she could grab his ears just like one of her toys, so she yanked & shook his ears as if they were solely for her entertainment. We were cracking up, but Cinco wasn't phased at all! Maybe he thought it was a rougher kind of massage or something. I thought this was a cute pic, esp. how they're both leaning to opposite sides. So cute!
