My friend is the third owner this little girl has had and the vet thinks she is a little over 3 years old now. An elderly lady had her and feed her bagels, deli meat and cookies for a year. When the elderly lady would fall and go to the hospital, the little dog would be left by herself until the lady got out of the hospital. She was feed by the lady's family, but the dog used the living room as her potty area. She was a mess. My friend has turned her life around and she is 100% better but still has strange behaviors. She is petrified of a broom, she will let you pet her one minute and the next snarls at you trying to bite your hand and she hides under the bed and growls. I know she will probably never be a normal dog but at least she will have a chance to become a normal dog now. I don't know what it is about my husband that has this dog so thrilled to see him but once I pointed out how this dog acts around him, he is now starting to give her more attention and she is eating it up.
