I have another doggie miracle to share…
When my Cocker Spaniel first came to stay with us--rescued from the euthanasia room for biting at everything and everyone--he was terrified by nearly everything and his reaction was to bite. He had been severely abused and his eyesight was poor, causing everything to be wavy and look like monsters. No wonder the poor dog reacted to protect himself!
Once he came to stay with us, if he became terrified and started biting, my shepherd, Stewart, would stand over him and get him in kind of a head-lock--but not choking him--and just hold him cradled against his body until he calmed down. It was amazing!
Now, my Cocker Spaniel may occasionally give a rare warning growl or nip if he's in an uncomfortable situation, but people who meet him consider him one of the most mellow of my herd of dogs.
As a side note, he has slept on my pillow since the day he came to stay with us.
