1. My rescue hound wouldn't let anyone touch her

I brought her home almost six years ago, and she wouldn't let anyone come near her. She wouldn't come inside for almost two months, even when it was below freezing at night. She finally decided to trust me, and she came indoors right as I was considering returning her to the shelter. It took another three years for her to let my son, who had two dogs and two cats at home, pet her. It took years of love and patience, and now she's a calm, loving, happy camper. She loves having the grandchildren around, and lets all of us love her. The only residual anxiety in her is of the car. She simply won't get in to go anywhere.
