Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FRED WAS FOUND WONDERING THE BACK ROADS IN PIKE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. HE WAS A BAG OF BONES. ONE COUPLE KEPT HIM ON THEIR FARM FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. HE WAS NEVER CHECKED OUT BY THE VETS. WHEN FRED STARTED CHASING THEIR CATS, THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE HIM OFF AND DUMP HIM. THEIR DAUGHTER BROUGHT FRED TO ME. FRED WENT STRAIGHT TO THE VET. HE WAS STRONG HEARTWORM POSITIVE, HAD INTESTINAL WORMS, AN ANIMAL BITE ON HIS HIND QUARTER, AND EAR INFECTIONS. HIS FRONT TEETH LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE MAY HAVE KICKED HIM IN THE MOUTH. WE STARTED HIS HEALING THEN. THE VETS GUESS FRED TO BE 4 OR 5 YEARS OLD. FRED HAS COME ALONG WAY. FRED LOOKS GREAT NOW. HE HAS PUT ON WEIGHT. HIS COAT IS SOFT AND SHINEY. HE IS HOUSEBROKEN NOW. HE LOVES TO PLAY WITH MY OTHER DOGS, BUT DOES NOT TOLERATE BEING SNAPPED AT BY LITTLE DOGS. I DO NOT LEAVE HIM UNATTENDED IN THE SAME ROOM WITH MY LITTLE ONE. FRED HAS FLASH BACKS IF AWAKENED SUDDENLY. HE DOESN'T BITE,20BUT HE WILL GROWL-BARK LOUD. SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO HIM. I SAY HIS NAME BEFORE I TOUCH HIM WHEN HE IS SLEEPING. THIS WORKS GREAT! HE ISN'T STARTLED. FRED IS REALLY A VERY LOVING DOG. HE LOVES TO BE LOVED ON AND PLAYED WITH, ACTUALLY HE DEMANDS IT. HE HAS SOME VERY FUNNY WAYS. WHEN IT IS FEEDING TIME, HE BACKS DOWN THE HALL, INTO THE BATHROOM WHERE I FEED HIM. HE WILL HANG HIS HEAD OUT THE DOOR, WAITING. HE ALSO LOVES TO SNEAK. IN SLOW MOTION, HE SNEAKS AROUND MY RECLINER. FRED LOVES TO RUN. A BIG FENCED IN YARD WILL BE GREAT. HE LOVES TO CHASE SQUIRRELS AND RABBITS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND FRED TO ANYONE WHO HAS CATS. HE WILL CHASE CATS. FRED LIKES TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM I AM IN. HE DOES NOT LIKE BEING SHUT UP IN A CAGE. I HAVE HIM SLEEPING AT NIGHT IN HIS, BUT ONLY WITH THE DOOR OPEN, AND SOME COMFORTABLE COVER. FRED LOVES TO BE PART OF THE FAMILY. I TREAT HIM THIS WAY. FRED DOES GREAT WITH OLDER KIDS. I DO NOT KNOW HOW HE WOULD BE WITH SMALL CHILDREN.
