This is a reminder of how love can transform.

This is Cujo. No, we didn't name him that but chose to keep it to keep from confusing him. We rescued him after two families returned him because he would not potty train and for whatever reason. It was obvious to us that he was abused and did not trust humans.

Today, he is happy, potty trained and loves his family. He gives kises and plays well with his doggie family. Oh, he still attacks and bites when getting groomed or having his nails cut and requires a muzzle. But, love, understanding, gentle training and lots of hugs and kisses have tranformed his life.
