Sad but happy at the same time. I took in a dog with many issues. I have read and spoken to people on what is the right thing to do by the dog.... I watched a PBS special on dogs, read books and articles, watched shows and sought the advice of experts.
Many people have different views on how to make a dog mold to the owner. I know people that want to control their dogs and make them behave in the right way.
My dog was abused and hurt. The only thing I have shown the dog since I got her is love and trust. Not rules. She does not act right all the time, she frustrates me, and she is not right.
All that aside, I think she is happy. She is safe and she is loved and she knows it. I will not envoke rules on her and I will not demand she follow a heritic law that I am more advanced than her and that I own her.
She thinks and she feels and she is a viable creature in the eyes of a greater spirit.
She is my dog. She is my friend. She is my Suzie.
I am not her owner, I am a friend that is trying to show her a better way.
