4 years ago today we got our dog, he came from a farm/ stables where he lived in a dirty old caravan. He was about six months old by then and had no training beyond knowing his name and with his two brothers were left to all but run wild. The rest of the litter and his parents had been sold on.
For a dog who had never left the farm or been in a house we discovered a few problems quickly. First of all while he could chase the girls upstairs he would sit and cry at the top of them as he didn't know how to get down again. Next problem was traffic when I took him out for a walk, he'd never seen cars or lorries and even now he is scared of lorries and buses.
Another thing he'd never had was treats such as a bone and as he's a big dog he gets big bones. Playing catch with a ball has been difficult as at first he didn't understand how to play and now after he gets the ball he just runs away and refuses to bring it back.
Even though he is a big daft thing, more Scobby Doo than a guard dog and I've spent 4 years cleaning up his poo he's part of our family and seems happy with his new home.
Good job @alienbutt you should have been very patient with him. If you're interested in his health, you could follow my posts, i'm a vet and I'm writing tips about pet's health in steemit. By the way what is your dog's name? You don't mention it in the post! See you
awesome
A very beautiful pal! Dogs are just the best. I love them so much and I could never live without them. So amazing that you took him and gave him a home ღ
Beautiful dog!

A dog is a friend for life.
What a good read and a beautiful dog
Aww he is very cute. Glad you rescued him, I posted about how I resued my dog to... We found her abandoned and she had no where to go.
