What's something you learned from your dog?😍

A couple years ago we had a foster dog for 4 months. He was a really sweet dog but a few times a month he and our resident dog just lost their minds in a growling snapping fur flying rumble, ending in someone bleeding [them or me, none severe thankfully].

I've been in a dog family since I was a newborn, had a handful of pups come and go in my life. These two dogs taught me so much more. I learned about training reactive dogs, and learned [and am still learning] about healing dogs with trauma. I learned the pain and joy of your foster moving to their forever home. I learned the worry about finding a difficult dog the right home and having to turn down good people whom you knew would be a bad fit. I learned patience and forgiveness for an aggressive freakout they had no control over. How to keep a cool head and safely stop an aggressive dog fight when alone. How to be an emotional support human for what was supposed to be your ESA. How much a dog can still love despite how much it was abusedkor neglected early on.
