10 Years ago, a couple of days after we got him from the Rescue Kennels...Jed the wonder dog sneaking up on an unsuspecting upside down water bowl
10 years later....Jed the "wonder what I just did" dog
When we got him he was around 10-13 months old (vet's best guess), wasn't house trained, chewed everything (2 mobile phones, 1 blue tooth headset, a copy of the PADI Rescue Diver course manual, most of my 4 yo son's teddy bears, inumerable socks, trainers, sandals, flip flops), loved every single person who he came into contact with, and distrusted every single dog he came into contact with. He has chunks missing from his lugs, and when he we got him he had scars on his muzzle, so we think he might have been a bait dog (staffie cross), given his reaction from an early age to other dogs.
Nowadays he makes Sleeping Beauty look like an amatuer when it comes to the sleep stakes, grumbles at the window cleaner for waking him up, and still distrusts other dogs. He has though made friends with a neighbour's border terrier, which is all good. He is also really good at ignoring my niece's cats when he goes to stay with her when we go away.
