Famed dog whisperer?? :laugh:

I hope the poor pooch stays safe from traffic etc.

Mango's sure got a whole community on his side.

Thanks for posting. What a great story. Although I do hope that they can catch him, I would think the area has ticks and heartworm.

Maybe they should put a bitch in season out in a cage and then nab him

Seems they have caught him (and looks like he did get a tick):

I spit my chips at the 'dog whisperer' thing though.

Abused? Concluding that because he is shy and wont be caught?

Many a 'normal' dog has acted in this manner when loose in a 'strange' environment without someone they know.

And often the issue is not abuse but could be lack of socialisation (which is actually more common than abuse).

For Mango's sake lets hope the 'famed dog whisperer' has at least some skill.

Just came in to post the update Espinay!

I thought the same thing when it was decided he was abused, how he can tell when he cant even get near the dog, I ahve no idea but anyway he is a link to his website :)
