Had a tough life. She was found roaming the ground of Adirondack Community College and was taken in by my friend Maria Heinrich, the artist. She has arousal and animal aggression issues, but is becoming calmer, more playful and responsive by the day. She is a hunter, though always looking for something the chase. We throw a lot of sticks. I think she was a guard dog, and she is very wary of my reaching towards her, although lately she is presenting her head for scratching. We are bonding.
