INFJ — The Old Soul
Watches everything, says very little.
The Old Soul seems to be running a much longer thought than the dog beside it. It observes before acting, forms intense attachments to one or two people, and has an uncanny sense for what is about to happen. Strangers often describe this dog as 'knowing'.
