WONDERING WHAT TO DO WITH THIS DOG? WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER NOW FOR A FEW MONTHS LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT DOG FOR OUR FAMILY. I FINALLY FOUND WHAT APPEARED TO BE A NICE DOG, SHE WAS VERY WELL BEHAVED AT THE SHELTER. WHEN THE WORKER TOOK HER OUT OF HER KENNEL SHE EVEN LAID ON THE GROUND FOR HER TO PUT THE LEASH ON. WHEN WE MET WITH THE DOG IN ANOTHER ROOM AWAY FROM OTHER DOGS SHE WAS VERY FRIENDLY LAYING HER CHIN ON US AND WANTING HER EARS RUBBED. I WENT BACK A FEW DAYS LATER WITH MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN AGAIN SHE WAS VERY FRIENDLY, SO WE DISCUSSED IT AND DECIEDED TO GET HER. I PICKED HER UP 2 DAYS LATER. MY RIDE HOME SEEMED TO BE AS THIS DOG OF 9 MONTHS HAD NEVER RIDEN IN AN AUTOMOBILE BEFORE. SHE WAS TRYING TO GET UNDER MY SEAT NEAR THE GAS PETALS, AND TRYING TO SIT ON MY SEAT, NEADLESS TO SAY I HAD TO PULL OVER MANY TIMES TRYING TO DRIVE SAFELY. THE FIRST DAY WE HAD HER SHE SEEMED LIKE A DREAM! MY FIVE YEAR OLD WOULD GO NEAR HER AND SHE WOULD INSTANTLY LAY ON HER BACK TO HAVE HER BELLY RUBBED AND SEEMED GOOD AROUND MY CHILDREN. SHE NEVER TRIED TO GET ON THE FURNITURE OR BEG FOR FOOD. BUT SHE SEEMED VERY SUBMISSIVE MY HUSBAND IS CONVINCED THAT SOMEONE HAS BEATEN THIS DOG JUST BY THE WAY SHE BEHAVES, WHEN YOU GO TO PET HER SHE FLINCHES BACK, WE CAN NOT GET HER TO GO UP STEPS EITHER. WHEN WE TURN LIGHTS ON OR OFF SHE KIND OF JUMPS, AND SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO GO THROUGH DOORWAYS. AS SOON AS WE WALK NEAR HER SHE USUALLY GOES DOWN ON HER BACK IT IS STRANGE. WE HAVE ANOTHER DOG THAT IS VERY OLD AND SICK. THE REASON WE GOT THE NEW DOG IS SO THAT OUR KIDS WOULD HAVE A DOG TO PLAY WITH. WELL THIS NEW DOG DOES NOT LIKE MY DOG AT ALL SHE WALKS AROUND GROWLING AT HER THEY HAVE GOTTEN INTO HORRIBLE FIGHTS AND HAVE DRAWN BLOOD WE HAVE TO KEEP THEM SEPERATED. WELL NOW IT IS DAY 2 THE NEW DOG IS STARTING TO SHOW HER TRUE COLORS. SHE IS BEING VERY AGGRESIVE TOWARDS MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SHE CAN NOT EVEN WALK PAST THIS DOG WITHOUT IT GOING AFTER HER AND SHOWING ITS TEETH. IT ALMOST BIT HER TWICE TODAY, NOW IT IS GETTING ON THE FURNITURE AND NOT GETTING DOWN, AND ALSO EATING OFF OF OUR TABLE WHEN I WENT TO TELL IT NO IT GROWLED AT ME ALSO. I AM FEELING A LITTLE AFRAID OF THIS DOG NOW AND I THINK IT CAN TELL. THIS DOG IS A BLUE TICK HOUND. WE HAVE DECIDED TO RETURN THE DOG TOMARROW BEFORE ONE OF MY CHILDREN GET HURT. WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WOULD CHANGE THIS DOG THIS QUICKLY. WE ARE REALLY THINKING THE PREVIOUS OWNERS BEAT IT. IT WAS BROUGHT IN BY THE LOCAL DOG CATCHER. THE HUMANE SOCIETY THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SHE BELONGED TO A HUNTER FROM OUT OF STATE AND GOT LOST DURING HUNTING. WE LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE HUNTERS COME FROM OTHER AREAS TO HUNT. I AM JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADVISE ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU
