Not exactly a return but still in the pet theme
I got my dog (loveable Golden Retriever) when he was 10 months old. My neighbor at the time asked us if we wanted one and we said YES.
The back story is this. Her Uncle got the dog as a 2 month old puppy. Nothing wrong there EXCEPT ---- The family shut him up in a small kennel for a good part of the day, NEVER played with or paid attention to him, and treated him with high indifference. Subsiquently said puppy started to act out by peeing on laundry and various other items, chewing on things and being a brat. The family decided after 7 months the dog had to be put down because of his "bad behavior" and that is when my neighbor decided to intervene and take the dog away from that family.
What we got was the most loveable, sweet, playful, attention hound I knew. We only had a few instances of misbehavior in the first 2 weeks BUT after that ---- Nothing but a fun, loving and loyal member of my family.
Yeah he is getting old (12 1/2 years now) and has problems but that is to be expected.
