We have got a new dog from the Dog Rescue Sanctuary to join our family. We brought him home late last night.
We have called him Jacob. He is the sweetest little thing. He is about a year old, is very thin and has obviously been mistreated because he is terrified of everything, especially people. The slightest noise makes him jump through the roof and he shook all over when we took him out of the car. When anyone comes towards him he presses himself against the wall, bless him.
He loves our other dog Julian, although Julian can be a bit grumpy when Jacob wants to play and he is fine with Neil the cat.
It is going to be a big challenge but we want to restore Jacob's faith in people and make him a happy dog.
As I write this he is sitting in his bed like a little angel, watching me; because he is very curious about everything even though he is a bit scared to investigate.
Here is a picture of him:
