Advice please

[Corey_Starling]

I have a rescue that was used as a bait dog (they tied him up, muzzled him and let other dogs attack him). He is so afraid of everything I can barely get him outside for anything and he hardly eats anything. How can I help him?

I know the first post was about helping and abused dog but since this was under, "Advice Please" I thought I would ask here.

I am a mother who lost my son almost 6 years ago. Andrew was 7 days old and died due to medical errors my doctor made. I had a tattoo place on my right ankle to mid-calf that is the same picture that is on his grave cover. It is a teddy bear and train. Now it was not done the best because I wanted it and I wanted it clearly at the time I got it but with emotions. I am not ashamed of it and do love having it but I would like to have it reworked (I think touched up would be an understatement.)

I also have three other children and did not think about their feelings when I dot the tattoo for Andrew. Unfortunately it is as if I have made Andrew a king but have left them out. I do not want to do that to them but I do not want a full leg tattoo either. I have hopes of one day becoming a lawyer (to change some of the medical laws) and would need to stay "presentable" for those who are not inked.

Is there a place I can go to find ideas? I am an easy going person but it will be on me for the rest of my life. Heck for someone who does out of this world work I am almost willing to be an sketchbook. I just do not even know where to begin. If you or anyone else is able to provide me with any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

By the way you can see Andrew and his stone here. http://thecloudwalker.net/Andrew

Corey did you get any help?

[Corey_Starling]

I actually did not get any help but I just used a lot of patience and he got better a little at a time until I rescued another dog just the other day from the Atlanta Pitbull Rescue named jewel.
As soon as they became buddies it was like a complete transformation took place. George (my first rescue) all of a sudden started walking with his head up and his tail out, not between his legs as usual.
It was amazing!!!!
I will have pics of both to post very soon!!!

Awesome sounds like progress. Patience is the key it takes a long time to rehab Pitbulls/dogs that have been through that.
