Entry for 'Best Rescue' post 14

Name: Dexter
Info on my dog:

He was dumped in the pound at the tender age of 13 months, and I knew within minutes of meeting him that I had found 'my' dog.

He simply could not cope with affection, and spent his first month with me sitting bolt upright in a corner, watching me warily. He was quiet, and solitary, and if anyone tried to pet him he would make as though to bite.

He was terrified of many things: motorbikes, men carrying newspapers, umbrellas; the list was endless. Loud sounds made him visibly flinch.

Now - one year on - he is the sweetest boy, and spends most of his time on his back, legs akimbo, waiting for a tummy rub! He adores people and especially children; around them he transforms from a big bouncy Labrador, into the most gentle dog imaginable.
