Dogs, Buy or adopt?-Part2

A Brief History Of Seeing Eye Dogs
No one knows when the concept of using assistance animals for the blind .....
...... animals. The animal shelters become so overloaded with these pets that many have to be put to sleep.
Our dog ' Suzy ' is one of those dogs. We had just lost our beloved ' Rina 'who we had for sixteen happy years.

Dog Too Spoiled To Walk On Leash

I have a 4 month old female pup, AmStaff/Boxer (we think .....
'Suzy ' was found abandoned, injured and suffering from malnutrition. The shelter nursed her back to health and in February 1999 we adopted her. She was approximately one year old and weighed seven pounds when we took her home. She obviously had been abused and was terrified of people, most especially men. Although she is now six and has had a happy life with us she is still nervous with strangers.
When we first got her she was an ugly duckling because she was so scrawny. In less than six months she blossomed into a gorgeous animal; she had more than doubled her weight. She is by far the best dog we have ever had the pleasure of owning, and we have had some wonderful dogs.
She's super intelligent, housebroken, has no bad habits. Some of our dogs have been destructive. Unfortunately she hates cars so she doesn't accompany my wife wherever she goes, which ' Rina ' always did.
Of course 'Suzy ' has taken over the house and as we don't restrict her she goes wherever she wants to. We have to protect our white furniture because she doesn't know when she's wet and scruffy.
