Andymann Posted September 10, 2014 Share We rescued her in ellis park. She was sleeping in an abandoned room, where she had to hunt for her own food. The first day we brought her home, she was in shock and was terrified. We named her Bella. After 2 weeks she started to come out of her shell, and landed up becoming the most active,kind, and incredible dog. We therfore decided after about 2 weeks to change her name to Roxy.There's something different about rescue dogs isn't there - it's as if they really appreciate being given a second chance. Ours is the same. When we picked her up from the foster family the guy told us that "She has so much love to give" - we thought he was being a bit dramatic, but turns out she really does.

blondeonabike Posted September 11, 2014 Share A little off topic but with talk of remembering 9/11 because it is again that time of the year, lets spend a thought remembering all the dogs that helped. Their contribution is often forgotten. Stretch, Little Fish, IanJ and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember a story about how every now and then the firefighters had to hide in the rubble and "be found", as the dogs were getting depressed at only finding dead people. blondeonabike, Little Fish and Tromp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play together(very funny watching the great dane, actually plays very gently with her), and will go and climb in the great danes box with her every now and again.

DJR Posted September 11, 2014 Share Remember a story about how every now and then the firefighters had to hide in the rubble and "be found", as the dogs were getting depressed at only finding dead people. Not that it matters, but what really happens is that their human handlers get depressed and the dogs feel that very acutely because they are so closely tuned in on their handlers. Finding people, dead or alive, is what these dogs are trained to do and they love it because they get a reward every time. They'll keep doing it over and over as long as they have an ounce of energy left. The trouble starts when their handlers get tired and cranky and sleep deprived, because then the dogs start to malfunction.
