Been Found By A Rescue Dog

[Deleted member 12723]

Hank hit the floor and showed his belly as though he were prepared to be hit and he was showing his submissiveness. I was so stunned in that moment and realized perhaps he thought he had hurt me when his teeth nipped my finger. I was heartbroken for my boy. I got on the floor with him and just gently stroked his chest for a few seconds and then I stayed beside him and stroked his head until I could see him relax. He turned onto his side in a more relaxed posture and we stayed there for a bit with his paw resting on my shoulder.

Simple things. Simple, simple and beautiful things when experienced with a dog. I will never be abel to repay what he's brought me.

I am hoping for more updates soon!

This brought tears to my eyes. I have fallen in love with Hank and I really appreciate your sharing about your lives together. I know that he was sent to you and so very happy for the both of you. I am so glad to hear that you are recovering from your surgery and that things are going so well for you both.

Thank you so much for sharing what you both have been up to. I agree that dogs have triggers too. Hank is very blessed to have you in his life and I just know that this is a relationship made in heaven.:hug:

Oh my God - I think I have cried reading every one of your posts in this thread @City Slicker.
I love them! They are so soulful and moving and beautiful and open... You are truly both such a blessing for each other.

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery following your surgery too. So pleased that you have Dr Hank on hand to help!

Definitely sounds like the beginning of a love story! I'm happy you two found one another. Animals are amazing.

Thank you so, so much @Rain. I am touched by your note. I will be sending an update soon about Hank's Christmas experiences. He was such a grown up boy dealing with so many people - he had an ear infection and I took him to work with me rather than leaving him at home.

Tonight is the first night in a while we have been alone together just to be relaxed. Hank is curled up close to my feet and occasionally he makes those secure groaning sighs in his sleep.

Merry Christmas dear @Rain and thank you again. More coming soon.
