Around a year ago, a beautiful year old bitch was returned to me, reason being she was "too small", and too protective, would not come, etc. She was totally unsocialized...had never left the premises. The wonderful list friend Laura Thomas tried to help the owners (my relatives, LOL), but they could not get control of Eva. She was a beautiful, petite (but normal size) girl, with sparkling laughing eyes, and a lot of attitude. She was dog aggressive, would not come when called, and was unsocial (shy). Over time, here, she learned to be social, came when called, and put on some weight, and no longer seemed too small by any standard. She is top show quality by any measure, but is missing two premolars. Last week, I found a great home for her, a single lady in her 50s, who had two mixed breed male dogs, and was a very savvy dog person. Eva and the dogs got along beautifully...it was was love at first sight for all of them. I have never seen anything like it in my life. This lady (Gail) took her everywhere with her including to work, where Eva was friendly and well behaved. Last night when Gail and Eva came home, Eva alerted at the bedroom door, and then went berserk, barking hysterically, snarling, and throwing herself at the door. Gail very foolishly opened the door, and saw two men there in her bedroom. Eva tore into the intruders, biting and snarling ferociously. Gail ran screaming from the house to a neighbors, where she called 911...The police arrived in minutes.. the thieves (or worse) were gone, but Eva was still in a threatening mode, trying to go out the window (point of entry) where the men had exited, running for their lives. The two mixed breed males were shaking in the corner of another room. Gail got Eva last Sunday, it is incredible to me that the timing was so perfect... and the match was made in heaven... to protect Gail. Incidentally, Eva's sire is a Boss son...Why am I not surprised?
