PTSD – part 1

I keep reading how some families adopt a dog and then return it because of behavioral problems or it doesn’t respond to them as they demand. What I think they fail to realize is that, for a lot of dogs, being moved from one home to another is stressful and it can take them a long time to make the emotional transition. Yes, dogs do suffer from PTSD. This needs to be recognized by adopters and allowances need to be made.
