We're on day five with the 5 year-old yorkie we adopted from a rescue organization.
He's bonding with me very well, but then I'm the one that's with him 90% of the time.
This morning when my brother picked him up to say hello (I live with my brother), he actually growled and made a little nipping motion towards my brother's face.
I'm hoping this is just because the entire situation is relatively new to him (the yorkie). He's lived in a kennel most of his adult life, and I don't think he's used to a lot of different people around, and handling him.
Any input or suggestions?
Thank you.
