I fostered a little brain-damaged dog for a few months and even she learned some things but couldn't retain it for longer than 2 days or so unless frequently reinforced. But she was happy, pretty frisky and not fearful of one single thing - even great heights or loud sounds or anything. She had no fear of falling, some fear of fire. Life was wonderful to Winnie. She would stand in her waterbowl, run into things and stare unendingly at the sky when outside. But she was very playful and kissy, loving. She could learn but not retain for very long.
