Abuse





Have you ever adopted a dog that had been abused
before you took care of her/him?

If you watch carefully, even as they grow in comfort with their new surroundings,
there is an immediate reaction to raised hands or voices in their vicinity.

When they see that there is no current harm headed their way,
they usually return to a calm and connected demeanor.





Why is it that it appears more difficult for humans to make that same adjustment?
