Puppy Luna was sitting by her car with her human parents and her  4 year old sister.  She was happy and carefree like a youngster should be, saluting passing dogs and  responding excitedly  to strangers comments. What a pretty gal ! Few hours later, I spotted a little ebony dog at the back of her kennel. Luna….She looked so scared. I talked to her softly, presented to her a few treats she did not want and leashed her. She was not eager to exit but once out, pulled and ran like very stressed dogs usually do. I took quickly a few pictures. She looked so serious and gloomy in them. I knew she was not herself, not the same silly babe I  met just few hours ago.I promised I would be back and found the next day a puppy that was still wary but a little better. She took some treats from me and strolled at a fast pace around the block. She looked intensely at people we neared, checked parked cars..She was searching for her family. We sat for a while and i started to pet her. Her beautiful eyes met mine . Wariness was still lingering. Lovely Luna is with us as her masters lost their home…She lived happily with a very young child and even a cat. She came aross the board with excellent comments, making her a very desirable little gal who just needs to come out of her shell. The best way to do that? You know the answer… The love of a master and a stable and welcoming home. Come at the Manhattan Care Center and bring Luna to her new castle..
