I am going to ring in on this discussion. Ceasar's approach for an abused dog is not the answer to your problem with Rascal. He was hurt mentally and physically. Dogs that have been abused need so much patience and time to gain trust. Trust is the big issue. Charlie is frightened with a quick movement and today, he saw from the car window a person walking with a cane and growled until they were out of sight. Obviously, the poor little pup was hurt with a metal cane during his years of instability.
It is sad, but an abused dog will even be grateful for any attention they receive especially from the abuser. You tried but it sounds like this wasn't the right time for you.
Hopefully, he will go into a rescue situation that has no expectations from him. That is one of the greatest problems with abused animals, our expectations for them to be normal in a short amount of time.
This note is not directed at you because you gave him a memory of kindness but to others who think the neglected pup is the same as one loved and cherish from puppyhood.
