  Sophie was beautiful, and I'm glad she had you to care for her and love her!  14 and a half years with her - wow, that is amazing!  I'm sure she knew how loved she was with you.
 I agree that rescue dogs remember the abuse, neglect, or cruelty they faced.  My Yorkie is a rescue - he is a sweet, happy, healthy, wild little boy, but he definitely has some quirks that can only be attributed to the first year and a half of his life.
