The Boston Terrier is an enthusiastic ball of energy as well as a gentle lap dog - depends what grabs his interest. Very playful and good with children. Expect a younger BT to be more "Tigger-like" than an older model. Good with other pets although it will try to be "the Boss". Easily trained and good for apartment living. They enjoy short walks, but also love to romp in the yard. Very low maintenance - just wipe it clean and let it go.
