Now, CLINICALLY speaking, as to the children/dogs-I have noticed something unusual. My female who is a rescue from a man who seriously abused her and made her dominant and aggressive to the point she was considered a candidate to be put down, suddenly has changed her tune about my x. She never really liked and trusted him before, even growled at him many times, and displayed dominance to him. However, during the time he was here, she slept each night by his side, would often rub her head against him, and follow him around. In fact she was very gentle to him at all times which is totally in contradiction to her usual personality. I have read that some dogs can sense/smell various illnesses and wonder if that is what is happening here. Has anyone else noticed dogs acting differently to the person in MLC? My other dogs also rescues from abusive situations ignored him basically.
