Victor - It's funny. When I met my wife, I had a gorgeous, incredibly smart, absurdly well trained, well mannered, self controlled, sickeningly sweet and loving Czech Wolfdog. A good dog. Rin-Tin-Tin good. Lassie good. My wife told me that when she saw this dog and how we worked together, she knew right then and there that I was the man she wanted to have children with. Pretty wild. I do believe that you really can tell a lot about a person by how they deal with their dog. You're right about some dogs.. some ARE too far gone to deal with, but I'm not sure it's so cut and dry. It's hard as hell, but it can be done, a lot of the time, but is it worth spending two years to undo every year of damage from a bad owner? Hard to tell... and even then you never know if it's going to latch on to your kid's face out of the blue. I guess it's all about the context and the kind of environment you're in that determines whether it's appropriate to be the martyr and take on that kind of job. I for one would never trust a rescue around one of MY kids. All told, I agree with you. The relationship a person has with a dog is a barometer for the kind of person they are. Well done.
