It's like finally they get it-I won't be hit, I'll be safe,I won't be used for breeding over & over again,I'll always be clean,safe & have good food and water.
People tell us that the pups are lucky to have us- no, WE'RE the lucky ones, we're there when they decide to trust again and that light goes "on"!
Thank you for trying to help this little girl!!
You are so right. Watching Smokey go from a malnourished, scared little sweet baby to this brave dog that actually prances now when he walks has been the most rewarding experience. I watched Chip grow from the time he was 7 weeks old... I watched him change from this little baby to an adult dog, but I missed all that with Smokey. What I did get to see is him grow emotionally. It's been very rewarding watching that "light" go off and seeing his head held high.
