What Do Folks Do in the Real World?

I had tried to heal her with outpatient therapy.   What she really needed, however, was a stable, well-adjusted dog to show her that life was okay and safe.  The student had a fantastic golden retriever.   Nellie, the GSD, was able to relax and enjoy life in her last couple of years.   She died from cancer.   I think it may have been due to having to drink contaminated water during the war.  She wasn't that old.  I'm glad we could give her some extra life, happiness and safety.   She was beautiful inside and out.

My buddy, Luke, is a puppy-mill rescue.  I think they left him outside to starve and die.  My wife couldn't let that happen to him.  He's incredibly shy and won't leave our side (which is pretty darn cool).
