I am so tired of reading sad, painful animal stories. I have decided to share happy stories from time to time. Like I read on the Animal Rescue Site...that after six entire months Sofie the Chow Chow bitch was finally rescued from the woods. The rescue team kept on visiting her with food every day but she didn't let them come near her. She was so scared. She was sick, had worms, lived through bad weather conditions. But finally with patience, she was rescued when she finally stepped in a kennel with food.
She is coping up. She still is afraid of mingling with other animals. Perhaps her past troubles her and doesn't let her. But it is so nice to know she made it out.
Another nice study in UK reveals more about the behavior of dogs that they can be optimists or pessimists. Most people just talk about conditioning when they discuss dogs but now through this study at least they can be treated like animals that have emotions and feelings. That they can get sad and disturbed due to which they may act in a less enthusiastic manner, depicting signs of pessimism. It is interesting but they need more work to be done on this.
