Absolutely! Sometimes you
get the dog
because of how well they bonded when
they were not even your dog.
That's how we got our Collie when I was 7. He belonged to a neighbor, but bonded with us, as an adult, so strongly that when we moved, he refused to eat, drink or socialize with his family or anyone else. He just lay on his front porch, gazing at the house we used to live in. His owner found us and asked us if he could come and live with us...they feared he would die of his broken heart. We had Tim for a number of years...not sure how many 'cuz I was a kid...before his age caught up with him and he passed. He was one of the best dogs I have ever known, and no stronger bond could a dog have with a family than what Tim had with us.
I got Brody when he was 14 months old and 3 months later, got Mia when both she and Brody were 17 months old. Both are very tightly bonded to each other and with us, but velcro
should stick like Mia does to me...
