It is extremely irritating to me that people expect pets to instantly warm up to them regardless of the circumstance the animals have been under. These people are most likely the same ones who expect the world to instantly embrace their children even if they are rotten to the core!

What a heart-wrenching story and photo. Will keep my fingers crossed someone comes forward and adopts him. When will Animal Control and shelter employees learn how to read and treat animals? How to learn compassion and empathy for them? Yes, these dogs and cats do have feelings and yes, they most certainly do feel emotional pain.

I have two stand offish dogs. They are shy. No amount of socializing helps, it only makes them more anxious and fearful. My other dog is a big lug, adores people and helps break the ice for the two shy ones. People respond to the big dopey guy and then the shy girls get their turn. I train more people to approach a dog correctly than ever. since I got the shy girls.

I certainly hope that the good out of this bad is he gets a loving home–what all pups deserve!

I no longer have any faith in shelter employees to ever act in the best interest of the animals in their care. If they decide he will be euthanized. Please, people of Denver, make sure this dog doesn’t suffer anymore. He deserves a good home and love.

In defense of Chows,the breed can be standoffish. This is just the way they can be. (Not to mention all the poor guy’s been through). Hopefully, he will be rescued by an adult household! He has impeccable karma, after all.

Please someone in the Denver area, take this wonderful dog home and love him. I have never seen a sadder face.

I look at this picture and see grief. Bereavement. If you think animals don’t suffer, think again.

I dearly hope this dog finds a new human worthy of him.

I certainly can understand “standoffish” after the ordeal this dogger has been through. What a special kind of love. We surely could learn a lot! I, too, hope that this wonderful dog gets a chance at a long, happy life.

Good grief, how do they expect the dog to behave?!? His friend is nowhere to be found, he’s being held in a strange environment surrounded by people and animals he doesn’t know, so it seems to me it’s perfectly natural he’d be standoffish. Sheesh!

Look at this dogs face. He is devastated and heartborken. I hope to God that the shelter gives him enough time and attention and hope, to heal and find a home that will care for him in the capacity that he needs. Maybe someone in the Denver area will step forward and rescue him. The dog must have a huge heart.
