Story
Meet Sweet and Smart Dalie
Dalie, 9 months old, spayed female, 35 lbs
I’d never forget that day I met Dalie. It was a raining night. A weak whining sound dragged me and my dog going toward a creek where we discovered a little puppy trembling, lying on her dead sibling bodies. These poor puppies were abandoned and drown in a hole at the creek, and the last survived puppy fortunate got her head up to breath when we found her. I picked up the puppy and rushed to the closest animal hospital. Luckily, her life was saved.
In the first month, Dalie frequently woke up from nightmares to whine. I understood it was not easy for her to forget the horrible drowning experience. One of my dogs seemed understanding her sorrow. She acted like a mother to comfort Dalie when she was scared. Gradually, Dalie stopped waking up in the middle of nights. She has overcome her fear with lots of our love. Dalie is now a happy pup. She likes to make friends with dogs and specially get along well with medium and big size dogs. She loves to chase after each other in an open field. Dalie also likes toys. And find squeaky plash toys remarkable. Dalie is food motivated. She is not a picky eater and eats fast. If she discovers you are making her meal, she’ll come to rub up your legs like a kitty to show how much she adores you. When she walks out meeting strangers, she is a little shy and passive to say hello. If she finds treats in their hands, she is cheerful to follow to get some spare.
Dalie was born with gentle and intelligent natures. After she bonds, she is cuddly, loyal and responds recalls. Dalie learns to show her wills by rubbing her body on you to tell if she wants something to get attention. When Dalie is happy, she flips her ears back. She loves to play with doggie friends and knowing to avoid aggressive dogs. At home, Dalie makes a good guard dog. She barks for warning if there are strangers coming at the door or overheard unfriendly sounds. Most of time, she stays quiet.
