When he takes a break from his intense-owner stalking, he works busily as a dog superhero of sorts. Cyrus is a blood donor.

But until such a time that Cyrus finds himself a new attention seeking strategy, it looks like Lauren will just have to live with her life saving, certified stalker of a dog!
