@nelsinho thanks for your comment, yes the animals condition would be heavily influenced by both nature and nurture, as i described in the article the living conditions were not the best and i would assume that the level of care and interaction form the owner would have been just as inappropriate.
Thank you for the kudos , but it was all on the German Shepherd, he was brave enough to trust someone after what he had been through in his life and to make the changes needed to interact with others in a more positive way. All i did was treat him as he should be treated, like a sentient being :)
Yes, the dog took a big step and showed us that an "inferior" being taught us a lot, but you gave the first step whether you want it or not, so kudos for you! hahahah :)
it is us that are the inferior beings... we have much to learn from everything which exists beyond us.
Ok I concede, lolz. Much love and copious hugs in your direction :)
