the first time i saw her was in a cage a the vets office were i work she was extremely underweight and scared she was about 7 month old at the time we are guessing  She came into my life at a time when i needed a friend and so did she. My golden had passed away 2 months before and someone had thrown her out of their truck without bothering to stop she has had some behavioral problems b/c of it i would have shocked if she had not  she is scared of strangers although now she is 90% better  i have worked closely with a behaviorist and she has gained confidence but i think she will always carry some emotional baggage with her
