Here’s our Lucy. We rescued her from the pound 5 years ago. The vet said Lucy was probably living on the street for over a year. She was so afraid of my car, I thought she would bite me when I first tried to take her home. She refused to jump in my SUV. The wife started crying because I told her I wouldn’t get bitten by the dog while I was trying to save it. The wife begged me to try picking the dog up and putting it in the car, so I did while the dog was growling the whole time. By the time we got home (5 miles away), the dog peed, pooped and vomited in the car (thanks Lucy!), but I didn’t get bit. Now she still hates the cars, but she loves us to death. She loves getting dressed up and the wife loves buying outfits for her. We got the dog for the wife, but Lucy thinks she is my wife. Her only problem is that she is overprotective of us. She bit several friends and family (usually in the ***) without any warning whatsoever. Now we keep a muzzle on her during our family/friend parties here in the summer. That’s drives her crazy - being around all that food but not being able to eat anything because of the muzzle.
