This Bandit who we also call "Boombie". We got him from someone who only used him as a breeder. It was hard to imagine a dog that didn't know what love and affection was, but that was Bandit. He seemed to be afraid of everything-it was so sad. It has taken us over a year and a half to get him to stop hiding under the bed! Now he follows us around, begs and barks when he wants something. The transformation in this dog who is over 10 years old has been amazing both physically and emotionally. Oh and if you are wondering about the cute way his tongue sticks out? It's because he has no teeth! Bandit has gone from living in a backyard pen to being king of the couch-often sharing the space with our two cats; Sassy and Trapper (also rescued).
