You can have just as strong a bond - sometimes even stronger - with a rescue dog - even if they are full grown - as you can with a pup you raise yourself. Just ask Aly - her rescue Lolly is incredibly well bonded to Aly! Or Anna_66 - you'd never meet a dog who loves her more than Huney - whenever Anna leaves her area (when we're at the dog park, for example), Huney is GLUED to the fence pointing constantly in Anna's direction!

Any ANY dog can be an "inside dog" - except for *some* Huskies and Malamutes, as Glacier's gang will attest to!
