This really hits home for me . I'm my little dudes 5th human . He was born in Puerto Rico and brought to the States . From what I was told his first 3 years were horrible , beaten , kicked down stairs , etc...
He was given to a woman who had him for a month or two before giving him away because he was "too affectionate" . She couldn't take all the kisses . The next woman had him a few months and said "he humps everything" . Well lady , he still had all his equipment and you didn't give him any attention .
He then ended up with my niece who had him neutered and took good care of him, but he had no structure because she is a very busy woman .
5 1/2 years ago he ended up with me anD it was kismet . I wouldn't give him up for a million bucks . A real million, not just a phrase .
Every day I love him more than the last ! He's a totally different dog than when I took him in . My soul dog .
