Thurs 26th Nov: The luck of the draw

What a difference a good home makes.  That will seem like an obvious statement, but the same dog or puppy in two different homes can behave like a completely different animal, a fact that we've seen over and over again.  Just recently a three month-old puppy was returned for being aggressive (insert eyeroll emoji) and almost immediately went to another home where he's doing really well and is happy and affectionate, and with absolutely no behaviour problems. 

Romeo, now Rocky, is perhaps an extreme example because we can't deny he had his issues, but today's update shows once again that there's no such thing as a bad dog that can't be turned around, and certainly no bad puppies.

"Dear Sally

Today we were at the vet to get a laser treatment for Rocky’s paws and back. He loves it!

Yesterday we were able to walk for 45 minutes in town in the morning and have a more quite time for over one hour at lunch in town. He slowly becomes more relaxed on the walks and was even laying down for some time at lunch. He loves people and people love him.

Last Saturday we were in town for the first time at night. It went quite well. When I came out of a bakery shop, two young ladies looked at Rocky in a way that I started to talk with them. Suddenly one of the ladies asked: “is this Romeo?” Wow, I was really astonished, people know him. And he made himself be caressed and admired....

With other dogs it’s getting better but still not how it should be. It will take more time but also this we will manage somewhen.

My daughter asked me yesterday: “Why did we have the luck to receive such a great dog like Rocky”?
Sally,  thank you and your team so much for having given a chance to this poor little dog with so many problems!!!!"
