This is our rescue dog. Supposedly they picked him up 15 minutes before he was to be put down. You can tell he realizes he has a good thing in life now, very obedient and loving. On occasion when my kids have left the gate open he waits quietly by it for us to come home.
When we got him you could tell he had been abused severely. The first day I was taking him for a walk, he got his leash tangled around my foot so I lifted it up to get it untangled. He fell to the ground and peed out of fear that he was going to get kicked again. It took about a year for him to fully trust us even though he was very loving.
The previous owners also apparently abused him with forks or something. If you ever scoop out canned food with a fork and he sees it he'll run and hide under a chair.
But he really is the perfect dog, we didn't realize it (he is our first dog for both of us) until other people were like, "I've never seen such a good dog, he is amazing."
Anyway good luck, I am a converted dog lover.
