I am mostly cat person, but I do foster dogs. I love dogs as well and believe they have alot to offer people and society. About 6 months ago I had a wonderful foster sheltie. He has SOOOOOO SKIDDISH I had never seen anything like it in my life. I can compare him to a feral cat easily. After months he was finally somewhat socialized and we had bonded BIGTIME. I've had 50+ fosters and he was like my own dog. No other foster affected me the way he did, I cannot explain why. We slept together on the couch, he was mostly housetrained, and he even learned to walk on a leash. It was time for him to go to his forever home.... as I took him to adoptions and left he cried and tried to get out of his pen. But Ithought "he'll be much better in the home he's going to" ... he was goin gto a single woman with no other animals... while here we were always on the go, have 9 cats and a crazy poodle.. i thought he'd be happier.
Right away he got out of her fence and was never seen again, until today. He was killed by a car 70 miles from his new owners home. Traced back by a microchip. I wanted his body but Animal Control had already picked him up.
I only hope there REALLY is a rainbow bridge and we meet again. Anyway, thanks for listening.
