A few people have asked me to make videos about my own rescue dogs.
I did one about Finn a few weeks ago: • My rescue dog Finn sto...
And one about Paddy: • My rescue collie: from...
Today's video is about the last rescue I adopted, Bruce.
I found him straying in my estate. He was in a bad condition, extremely skinny and covered in mange. He was terrified of humans, it took him 1 hour before letting me approach him. Initially I was just keeping my distance and throwing treats at him, because when I was getting too close he was running away.
Eventually with a lot of patience he agreed to let me put a collar on him, I brought him home, called the rescue and I started fostering him.
He was initially terrified of everything: people, kids, cars, noises, balls bouncing on the ground etc
After a while he started to relax and we developed a very special bond. So I decided to keep him.
Today he is a happy dog who likes to go for walks and sniff (he is a scent dog), play and meet people. It is quite unbelievable when you think of where he is coming from. He is a character and a very special dog, he makes me laugh every day.
