dogs are some of the most resilient mammals on the planet in my experience. I suppose this comes from hundreds of years of needing to adapt in order to survive. These dogs are in relatively good shape but it is not uncommon for us to find a dog that is in such terribly a situation that we can't believe it is still alive... yet these dogs are normally just as friendly and receptive to being handled as any other dog. Dogs don't complain, they just get on with it as best they can.

Dogs are generally happy and why sometimes sickness or injury goes undetected. Our Chocolate Labrador had a significant wound from a metal spike that pierced her side no one knew until we smelt something that was not pleasant. There was no pain or an obvious problem which was hidden behind her front leg. She fully recovered, but has serious scar tissue there now.
