Fantastic story and happy couple of friends.
Thanks for sharing it.
All the best.

My beast - Nala.
She's a half Boxer - Half Demon (or a Vizsla, we're not sure..)
One day, while patrolling on a car, I see this dog chasing it, excited... I stopped, the owner was behind her and I knew him..
Turns out, he took her when she was very little, a few hours before they put her down in the canal. He thought she'd make a good watch-dog (because of her color, she looks rather dangerous on first sight), and he was very wrong: She's kind of mute, she was scared of everything (including her own barking, hence - mute..), and she was too sweet...
In order to "release" the inner guard dog in her, he treated her very-very badly, which didn't really work and only made her more scared. Anyway, he told me he didn't want her anymore, and I already fell in love, and took her from him.

Today she's five, still frightened of almost anything, but she's amazing, smart, playful and extremely energetic (a typical Boxer). It took me a whole year to get her to realize I'm not gonna hurt her, and till this day, I think she's not sure of it. Even my parents love her, and my parents HATE dogs...

You did a very good thing Haim. I am sure Nala loves you as well. I am sure she will become more and more trusting of you.
Thank you for putting up the story of Nala.

I am very happy to see this post Richard. Looks like Abigail and Naveen = a match made in heaven. Service dogs can make wonderful things happen in peoples lives.

It's my Gabby's birthday. She's 4 now and getting a little salt in her pepper.

One of the things I like about old dogs is how, in general, they mellow out.

A tribute to a real Hero!

As in contrast to old men?
