I just want him to be happy walking and playing with other dogs and people and feel safe...and sure it would be great if I could be a little less embarassed when other dog owners leer at me like I am hurting him. BUT, in the long run, thats not going to make or break my relationship with the dog, this guys is here to stay. I just wish people that cannot care for dogs would not get them.
thanks again, so much! |
Wow, I am in love with you
and your devotion to your little dude. If there is a heaven (and I think there is) I know you will be let in. What you are doing is so very special and your dog deserves a second chance at a life full of love and caring......to bad, many people don't understand these creatures are so very special and they deserve respect and devotion.
Rescue's take longer in many cases because they will never forget their beginnings but they are willing to forgive and move on. Sometimes it just takes longer than a puppy who had a great start. Time is on your side because your dude is young and I think with a real focus on training which forms a strong bond with your dog you and he will be able to overcome many things.
Good Luck and stay in touch.
