I was very scared but mom let me have my space and I’ve adapted like the true champion I am. Mom doesn’t use a leash on me either so I get to run and play with jack in the woods and we have such a big yard! I get to lay outside and eat my bones in the sun so this eases my transition as well. I’m obviously very well socialized (street dog. They know how to stay safe and be innocuous they had to to survive) I’m doing great and I love my new life!“
