When we brought Buddy home he was very, very shy. He was so scared he was almost catatonic on the ride and just hid when we brought him in our house. He was pathetic. Buddy was a stray most of his life and people weren't that friendly towards him. So, you can imagine being near people was quite frightening to him.
This is his first day at our house and he spent it mostly under our kitchen table looking scared. We worked with one of our good friends Karlyn who is an animal behaviorist and trainer, to get him to trust us and to bond with us. With her help he has come out of his shell and well, blossomed.
More to come...

Oh Rob, what an absolute sweetheart! I am sure by now he has realised that he landed the jackpot when you guys picked him to live in your home!!! I can't wait to see more pics of your gorgous new pup!!! I really like this pic by the way, you've managed to capture his dejected and forlorn state perfectly. The lighting from the right is awesome, it softens the whole picture beautifully! :) Have an awesome weekend buddy, I look forward to catching up with your blog when I return from my vacation! :)

He is such a beautiful dog. I'm sure it didn't take long for him to love and trust you and feel part of the family. Wonderful image.
