 Thank you all so much
Thank you all so much for the support. It really helps so much to hear that other dogs got through this type of trauma and went on to not be scared of other dogs.
The dog does belong to the owner of the store, but she openly said she normally doesn't allow the dog to come downstairs during the day unless she is leashed and taken out through the back. Today was an exception because it was close to closing time on a slow day and a regular customer's daughter wanted to say hello. I too think that it is a large liability and I will not be returning to the store front to purchase from them, although their products are wonderful (handmade harnesses, leashes, etc) and I would consider purchasing through a phone order or online from them again despite what happened.
Hepburn is moving fine, but is extremely off and catatonic almost. He did, however, jump up and bark at the doorbell when the pizza man came to deliver my dinner so that is a good sign.
I will be sure to update this thread tomorrow as the day goes on with news about his surgery. Keep on praying and thanks again! |
