I got rescue dog when he was 6 months old. The previous owners said he was vicious, unruly and would destroy things (Carpets, wooden furniture, corners of walls, etc, etc).
He's been with me for almost 13 years now and he's the best dog in the world! He never fights, never goes on the lead, is incredibly intelligent and has more friends in my local than I do
I think that all he needed was a bit of love and attention. He not the most attractive of dogs (He looks like he should be with a big issue seller!) But he's the best mate I've ever had...............................
