Apart from the socks he looks to be a lovely dog. What breed is he?
Thanks BR, don’t think I’ve introduced him before? Rufus is a Lurcher, probably some kind of Afghan cross.
Poor sod had a pretty awful start to his life, certainly beaten and kicked about and then chucked on a dual carriageway at about 6/7 months old.
He’s come on a long way in 6 years, (6 long years for me!) no longer constantly the quivering wreck. Humans are the issue, he wants as far away as possible. I’ve got a bit like that anyway over the years myself so we’re happy wandering the forest away from it all. He has a only a few human friends, his trust is hard earned, and on his time scale.
Dogs are another matter, bloody ace with them. I’m pretty sure his previous life included Transit pick ups & caravans so he was probably in a pack and he picks up all the dog nuances.
A gentle, fun loving soul really, he's been a bit trying at times, to say the least, but to be honest he also rescued me during a difficult few years. I’ve loved all my dogs but this one’s got right under me skin!
Its an ongoing theme…….
