About 7 months ago we adopted Luke, an abused chiweenie. He was scared, remote, and depressed. He had been horribly mistreated. We loved him at first sight but he kept his distance. We treated him with love and affection hoping he would respond is time. I'm happy to report that he is now a happy, feisty little guy. He runs around like he owns the place. He is playful and happy. And he is very protective of us. We think he is under the impression that he is a pit bull. He has fit right in. He loves to have company. Plus he has turned out to be a terrific watchdog. He is family. He is my little boy.

@celticeagle I try not to think too deeply about any mistreatment my animals have had to go through.

He is a happy puppy. He still can be a little skittish especially with new people but, he has been through a lot.

So he is a chiwawa and a hot dog dog? He sounds the most sweet. I am so glad that he got you to nurture him back.

He is so sweet. He would look at you with his big dark eyes and melt your heart. Poor baby, he was so afraid when we met him he shook. When we had to leave them there until they did al the checking of our home and such he cried. He was ours from the minute we saw him.

Your little buddy doesn't know that he is a dog. Of course he is family. All the furred kids in my house are just that, my kids. That's great that you were able to get him into your loving home.

No he doesn't. He thinks he's our little boy and the boss of the house.

I will never understand how anyone can abused and mistreat an animal.

I love dogs. I have a dog named Tobey. He is a toy poodle. He is such a sweet and gentle dog. He knows when I am sad or depressed.

He sounds so sweet. They seem to be able to pick up on your feelings don't they?

He had been through so much bad stuff in his young age. He deserves kindness and love. These animals look to us for protection and love how could we respond any other way?
