Just for fun...
My son sent this photo to us. It was our granddog, Mungo's birthday!
Well... not exactly his birthday. It was the day they adopted him from an animal shelter 8 years ago when they lived in New Mexico.
He must have been severely mistreated and traumatized by a man before he was brought to the shelter because he is fearful of men, especially men wearing glasses and hats.
He is incredibly gentle and tolerant of our 2 year old grandson who often bumps into him.
He will also very trustingly come to me to brush or pet him and will never bark at me. And I'm not really a dog lover.
Poor Art loves dogs, but darn, Mungo growls every time Art enters their apartment.
Mungo is well trained. Notice how he's not lunging at the sandwich until they take the photo.
Granted if there's a squirrel in the room, all bets are off!

So glad he has a good home now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet animal
ReplyDeleteCute pic, sad story and the dog never forgot.
ReplyDeletehow fun yet sad that this dog was mistreated...
ReplyDeleteSo sad about his being mistreated but wonderful that he has known only love for 8 years. Loved his "cake".
ReplyDeleteSo Mungo is worth it for some people. Some people should never have dogs.
ReplyDeleteI really hate hearing about animal abusers, nobody forces anyone to adopt a pet. But I suppose some get one to have something pick on because they're sick and twisted.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! So cute! Poor Art.
ReplyDeleteSweet story about Mungo, except maybe for Art. I love the thought of a once abused dog having such a loving home and a little boy to love and care for.
ReplyDeleteArt must visit disguised as a woman!
ReplyDeleteGlad they took in the dog. Too bad his scars have lasted, so he's really lucky to have found his forever family. How spoiled! Birthday party and cake!
Cheers, Linda in Kansas
Sweet little Mungo. I'm glad he's got a wonderful forever home. Cute picture, Kay. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow often are there squirrels in the room? LOL
ReplyDeleteI had a colleague who nursed a Mynah bird back to health. It bonded with her. But her husband told me the pesky critter would dive bomb him whenever he entered the house.
