Benji is doing better

dogs - Benji 16

A day makes all the difference and Benji is feeling lots better.   We’ve spent many hours with him, sitting down, doing nothing in particular and just being there for him.  He’s still growling when someone he doesn’t know goes near but gradually he’s learned to trust us(and the chicken chunks have helped!) .   Gradually we’ve been able to touch him, then stroke, then fuss him and then there was a breakthrough when he wanted a cuddle.   He continues to be stressed by new people though,  it’s still early days.
