Agreed.
Personally, I had a similar situation when I got Tatiana. She was three years old when I got her. She grew up with her breeder (and her parents, plus several other yorkies) her whole life. I was worried Tatiana would miss her original owner and her past life. Dogs could be so loyal.
I worked hard to give Tatiana a new, positive life. She was family, and treated that way. She was included in ALL aspects of our life, even vacations and social events. Also, I spared no effort (nor expense) for her wants, comforts, and needs.
I love Tatiana, and she loves me back. I am so grateful for this.
It's saddening that no one made that effort with Hatchi.
