I am not sure. It's like he's bi-polar or something, for one minute he's this sweet, loving dog, and the next, he's a demon dog.
I do know that it was a male that abused him, and also, the family had children that aggravated him. And, since he was so bad, and they were a 'prominent' family, they had lots of company, and he was shut up in his crate most of the time.
I feel that he was hit on the head, but I don't know if he was damaged or not. What we did gain from this experience, was, even though we didn't find out what was triggering the growling/biting, we did find that he is ok with food, (was told he had a food aggression), that he's ok with other dogs, and that he will warm up to strangers. I do feel that if we had not rescued him in the first place, as Shirley said, 'He would have gone out the back door.'
Thanks again to all of you who have posted, and given me support. Even though he's not dead, I still feel as if he is.
What a WONDERFUL community!
