Today I pulled a pittie mix for a rescue that adopted the dog out 2 years ago. To whom I don’t know and after seeing the dog maybe its best I don’t. I don’t know if the dog changed owners in that period of time, but he is a good example of a dog that never has known a warm hand or just a pat on the head. This guy was absolutely terrified of people; cowered in the corner, would not come near you on a leash, wouldn’t make eye contact eye at all. What happened to him we may never know. I mentioned to the rescue that he acted semi-feral. I have dealt with them in the past and it won’t be an easy recovery road ahead. A lot of love and confidence-building will be needed plus a whole lot of patience. The expenditure of effort will be great, but the rewards will be greater.
