HIs face looked so forlorn, his expression was quiet but there was panic in his eyes. When we asked to meet him, the kennel attendants told us he was too aggressive and that nobody had touched him since he arrived because he was growling at the pole they had used to collar and drag him into his cage. While we are extremely careful with any kind of behavioral issue, aggression in particular, something just did not add up. Of course most dogs in his position would be beyond scared, but how could he have been left untouched and unwalked for days? We convinced the attendants to let us open the cage. He was too afraid to take any treats, and he urinated on himself when we got near. But with some slow and gentle coaxing, he wobbled out from behind bars. We had suspected that Angel was different from most dogs by the look of him, but it was clear as soon as he stood up that this bully was deformed. His proportions are adorably distorted and squashed -- his body looks like a giant lumpy cube, his front legs seem a little longer than they should be with his paws a tad to large for his legs, and his hind legs are smaller and curled under. What is this sweet creature? Was he born this way, a product of inbreeding or his mother receiving poor nutrition or abuse while he was in the womb? Or was he raised in a crate that was too small for him and stunted his growth?... #animalrescue #rescuedog #angel #gooddog #love #secondchance #hope #teamwork #scared #neglected #socialtees #socialteesnyc #straypride
