Every dog starts life with a blank canvas. His destiny etched by the hands of the painter, and each one an artist’s original. … Every dog is a product of its environment. Bad dogs are not born, they are created. If the portrait is flawed, look at the artist. Stop blaming the dogs. – Author unknown
Hi, my name is Bam. I’m currently living in a foster home with four other dogs and a human who thinks that if he puts my picture on his blog more people will want to read it.
I can’t argue with that.
Seriously, I’m here to discuss a subject near and dear to my heart: That when you see something that you consider wrong about a dog, it’s often humans who are the cause.
Take me, for instance, I’m a pretty shy dog. I’m sometimes scared of people. I don’t know why I’m like this – my foster dad won’t pay for a shrink to help me figure it out – but I’m really a good dog. Just as good as my foster brother and sisters who like everybody and, in the case of a couple of them, think respecting personal space is a suggestion, as opposed to what you’re supposed to do in polite society.
