I love my dog Scout for so many reasons, but mostly because she had it so rough her first 3 years of life: Skinny, abused, neglected, then dumped at the pound. Also had NEVER been around cats- I found out when I got her home, and I have 2 of them.
She was very sad at first, only wagging her tail slightly now and then.
It took a couple of months for her to come out of her shell. Now she LOVES the cats (even plays gentle with them), was the best dog in her dog-obedience classes, is very loyal and follows me everywhere, and is happy all the time (tail wagging constantly!)
So you see, all she needed was a little attention and love to become the best dog ever to me! That guy who had her before and then dumped her, just had no idea!
