Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lost dog found roaming the streets of Bushwick (Brooklyn) on August 10, 2006. Scared and confused, the dog had the remnants of a rope around his neck, tied so tightly that his breathe was inhibited and rope was beginning to embed in his neck.
This dog is quite petite, maybe 40 pounds and about 2 feet tall. Guessing he is at least 7 years old. Lab/lab mix with a beautiful chocolate brown coat with a hint of grey around his mouth. Gentle, sweet, timid. Cat and child tolerant. Behavioral indications of abuse or neglect (hides in the bushes of our backyard and whimpers when I encourage him to come out). He loves to be loved (let's me pick him up, carry him, hold and pet him, etc.) but he clearly is not used to it.
Looking for a gentle and patient home for this special dog. With a little love and time, this little guy will blossom into an even more wonderful companion.
