Comment on Loving a reactive dog means grieving the dog you thought you would have by Mary Cain.

It’s good to know your not on your own, we rescued a rescue dog from Spain who we found while we were on holiday to cut a long story short unfortunately it took five months to bring her to the UK, she is a very large husky german shepherd mix and very strong which when she lunges at other dogs or certain cars I struggle to hold her, we also have a rescue from Greece which we found whilst on holiday (she is a Greek hare hound molossus mix so also large but she is quite a laid back dog, there have been some horrible fights because of the other ones reactivity, so I walk them separately I really think she would be better with someone with her being the only dog, indoors she is a real softy. I tried several rescue sights but no one could help. Reading your story I can definitely identify with you so thank you for sharing.
