If you don't have a dog you won't understand.

Sophie is a lab boxer mix who lives under my desk and has just started venturing out and exploring her surrounding areas.
Sophie was part of a litter that someone dumped in the middle of the road late at night and found just in time by my wife.
Sophie had the biggest fenced in area all to herself, she constantly romped and played, she was friendly and never tried to escape, but once. We had given up finding her when out of the blue after at least 4 months my step daughter spotted her while just driving around. She has one white eye and one blue, hard to miss. So the rescue team went out and my wife saw her and Sophie saw my wife, came over and rolled on her back, I think she was glad to be found. Skinny and buggy. She was brought home, washed and made a house dog. Slowly she put on weight and got healthy. But she won't leave the space under my desk except to go out do her business which she communicates by pacing back and forth at my bedroom door. She is scared to death when a thunder storm hits and won't leave my side, including jumping in bed with me if the storm comes at night. I have spent many a nigh sitting at my desk just to comfort her. She never barks or growls.
For the past two weeks Cally has been going under the desk and playing with her....I think that broke the ice. She will now come out and asks to be brushed, and will wonder around the bedroom. And when she goes out she will play tag with the outside dogs. She is such a sweet dog, loves to be petted and it is plain gratifying to see the change. I like dogs.

My step daughter likes frogs and dogs. Her dog is named Charlie and is the strangest dog I have ever seen....no one knows what breed or mix the little guy is.
She was only about 3 months old but about to be put down when my wife and I rescued her.
