Doctor Dog is a Lhasa Apso, he came from a puppy mill raid in Northern California, and was sheltered by our Humane Society of Santa Clara County. I had been volunteering there as a dog socializer for a few years, and learned about the couple of dozen dogs that were brought in. Doc massaged my heart from the moment I saw him and I decided he was a heart specialist! Doctor D had to have a hernia operation, his lower teeth were missing, he needed neutering and social training. He was very scared of all people except me but he adjusted the first night and slept soundly, was housetrained within a few days, learned sit and started to allow others in his space.
To help him, I bring him to my office often and also take him to doggy daycare where he gets along with all sizes, ages and genders of dogs and those in charge of the dogs. Doctor D loves to play fetch, loves his nesting bed, his greenies bones, loves to cuddle and plays patty-cake while lying on his back (with some help from me). I'm giving him the happy childhood he never got as a puppy. I'm very happy that he picked me as his guardian angel!
