Before Buddy I had a terrier mix which I rescued from the pound 19 yrs ago.
He was picked up on the street eating out of a garbage can. He was approx 2yrs, old. I soon realized he too did not take to men. Over time with patience, he did accept the men in my household. My son, and sons-in-law. Other than that he would go nuts whenever he saw men. He had, what I believe, was a burn mark on his right front leg. I believe he was burnt by a cigarette by a man. I could not erase it from him mind no matter what. He was 22lbs of love but men he would go nuts whenever he saw one. I understood and never punished him for his behavior because he just could not get over his fear of them. |
