Marsha, you are so awesome and you are not bragging. Yes, there are some people that are like "a dog whisperer". It is just a God Given quality. Diana

This dog will probably require someone who has "the touch". Some people just have a way with dogs. I am one of those. I can take a dog that is aggressive or fearful, and within a few months have that dog acting the same as any other dog. There are others like that. It is a gift. Not trying to like brag or anything, but some people just have this ability to connect and communicate with the dogs (I don't mean we sit around and have a conversation, lol) Unless you have experience with dealing with this type of behavior ect, I doubt you would be happy in the end. This dog will come into your quiet home like a lion and will also greatly upset sox's life. Of course I do not want to discourage you from saving the dog if his life is in danger or if they are threatning to take him to the pound or anything like that, but if their are other options for this dog, he would probably be better off with someone who has dealt with this type of behavior. Because if you bring him home and he doesn't work out and then you have to rehome him, it would be his 4th home and that would make it much harder for him to ever trust anyone.
