Meeting Miss Whippets

If there are any doubts that meeting dogs can be good for you, this picture of a young visitor to our Christmas fair, will dispel them.   Our sanctuary resident Miss Whippets are loving the fuss and their new friend is very happy to get to know them.

Dogs that are well socialized when young and have good experiences with humans will be friendly and well adjusted with almost everyone.  If children are used to dogs as they grow up and are not afraid of them, there is rarely a problem.   If a dog senses fear then he will wonder what there is to be worried about and may become tense.  It’s a vicious circle.   Confident children and happy sociable dogs – you can’t go wrong.
