It breaks our heart when a dog goes from the first picture.. to the second picture.
This is Lynn.. she’s too scared to come out of her kennels 😔
She’s depressed, scared and has completely lost her spark.
Please, is there a home who will help Lynn?

@simonjedge Thank you for this, fascinating. I found a first of this in a second bank book shop once, and it was the best law book I’ve ever read and yet never heard anyone mention it until now. The copy even had an old photo of Wildeblood as on the left tucked into it.
