Woody the re-hab friend!
Am so pleased with our little man.
I met up with a friend yesterday for a walk, who owns a GSD and a Dobe.
Woody has never met them before but behaved lovely around them even though the dobe bitch can be abit off sometimes with pups and the GSD plays abit rough. He just knew to give her her space and play slowly with the GSD.
Anyway. Woody and I have met up a few times with a rescue staffie who was petrified of everything and didn't know how to be with other dogs when we first met her. They got on so great the owners asked if they could socialise her with him. He's such a laid back little guy and played so nicely with her that they soon became friends.
Well, we bumped into her yesterday and she was a different dog!!
She played lovely with all of them and just seemed so happy and relaxed. Now clearly this isn't all down to Woody but her owner did say that he was really grateful to us for using Woody to show her how to behave with other dogs and that if it wasn't for him they're not sure they would have had the confidence to let her off the lead with other dogs so early on.
Really lovely story and am so pleased with my little Man Cub ;o)
