RUPERT
This is my hungry, mournful look
Rupert , we suspect, was an abused dog. We picked him up from the DBKL pound. He was going to be put to sleep and while we usually turn a blind eye, we just had to take him away. We admit, he has been a challenge. He had skin problems, behavioural issues and pulled on a leash like a fiend.
However, with time, we realised that while he hates the leash, he can heel. His skin problems cleared up to reveal a striking and glossy coat. HIs behavioural issues were likeyl due ot his previous abusers and he is much, much better now. We haven’t heard him howl in ages.
If there are any among you would have the extra understanding required to take Rupert on, please schedule and appointment to meet him. He would thrive indoors and out, so he’s the right kind of dog for a family who cannot keep a dog indoors all the time.
Update
Rupert was adopted last weekend by my friend and his family. I was especially careful to warn them about his unpredictability on leash, and guess what?!?!? The creature goes and walks PERFECTLY with them! He didn’t pull or struggle. He followed them happily and only jumped a couple fo times. Made me feel totallu inadequte and ‘tak pro’. Since then, my mum has come across Sital walking Rupe around Melawati a couple of times, and each time she says he’s doesn’t look like the same dog.
Guess he’s happy. And we are so pleased for them all. Thank you for giving him a chance at a home with lots of exercise, a huge garden and a patient family.
