I can totally understand you. My father rescued a German Shepherd puppy from a kennel. She was the only puppy among several male dogs and was completely emaciated. The male dogs also appeared neglected. Since my father didn't know how quickly the public order office would intervene, he bought the puppy, brought her to safety and then called the public order office. The employees took all the dogs out of the kennel. She was such an adorable and loyal dog. She is living behind the rainbow since 1997, my father died only two years later.

I have a wonderful GSD. Like a lot of them, she has a tendancy towards anxiety but not in a troublesome way. Just follows me everywhere. Recenty I was in hospital, quite seriously ill. Came home in a lot of pain. She gently nose butted and kissed me constantly for days as if to comfort and encourage me (she doesn't do this normally). Will never ever forget that. Love her so so much.

I am empathetic to their situation and understand why some are acting like this.
