think about a dog that gets beaten with a stick everyday, for quite some time. think about the way it feels, to have someone who cared show how much they don't. think about the way dog changes in time (cause it does) think about the fear brewing in it and the trust that will no longer exist. it's been a while now, dog is in a new home, cared for and loved. think about dog seeing a stick again think about it's reaction the pain, the fear -it's all comimg back now think about it how do you think it'll react?
