2 lurchers here, one's a rescue dog. He'd been left in a garage for 18mnths and was thin and covered with sores and whip marks when we got him. He used to cower in a corner when I came into a room and didn't wag his tale for the first 12mnths.
As I type he's sprawled on the settee and has covered himself with the throwover with just his head showing and a stupid dog grin on his face. The other is on an easy chair flat on his back and grinning too.
Cheers Rhino
