Luke, you are a beauty! Tell your folks NOT to be surprised if you overcome your separation anxiety. Many dogs that learn to trust DO get over it. You are young and you will most likely overcome the problem.

We had a little mutt boy, Ruckus George, that was severely beaten as a puppy. We found him at a local shelter. He suffered from separation anxiety and NO TRUST in humans whatsoever! Within eight months, he KNEW we loved him more than ANYTHING in this world and trusted us COMPLETELY. Our beloved little Black Lab Chow mix, he looked like a little lab, has since past. He was THE GREATEST!

Luke will come to COMPLETELY trust his family not to leave him. I believe it!
