We got a rescue that doesn't like our son. He's not around enough for her to really get to know him. There are only two things we can think that might be the problem. He's a smoker and maybe the last place she lived had a smoker who was mean to her. The other option is he and his girlfriend watched her while we went to a wedding right after we got her. They picked her up after we left and took her to their house. She bolted out their door and ran like crazy. Total strangers caught her and brought her to the vet who was closed. He met them and took her back to his house till we got there. We often wonder if she thinks he tried to kidnap her while we were gone. That was last year and to this day she barks like crazy if she even thinks she hears his truck. She tenses up if I hold her and he pets her, and won't go near him otherwise. Last time he was here he played with the cat and she growled at him for that.
