Beanie use to be the same way. he still puts his ears back and cowers,but it's not as bad as it used to be.

when i worked at the humane society in indiana there was a black heeler looking dog named scardy dog. he wouldn't let anyone near him. when people would walk by his kennel he would run to the back and shake. i felt so sorry for him that i spent most of my time in his kennel. i would just sit there and talk and sing to him. after about 4 days of this he finally come up to me and licked my hand. i still sat there for another 2 days and let him slowly come up to me and lay by me and lick my hand.

on the 7-8 day something WONDERFUL happend. when i walked by his kennel he jumped up and greeted me(WAGGING HIS TAIL) i took him outside and played with him. i formed a specail bond with Scardy dog. i couldn't have a second dog at the time though so i worked hard on finding him a rescue or adopter.

unfortinatly he wasn't adopted and was put to sleep. i feel terrible that he wasn't adopted and the only NICE person he knew was me. when i found out he was euthinized i wanted to cry. i hurried and grabbed a leash and a dog,went outside and balled my eyes out.

R.I.P. Scardy dog
