Daisy overcomes a traumatic beginning
Daisy’s parents describe her as loyal, goofy and present. They said she has a sense of humour that keeps them in stitches and Daisy is deeply loved.
Daisy had a traumatic start in life and some of her history remains a mystery. Her previous owner heartlessly left her tied to a pole downtown on a scorching summer day without access to water. The authorities were contacted and they claimed the nameless, abandoned dog.
A young man decided to go to the shelter after Daisy was picked up. He wanted to look at the dogs because he was considering adoption. While at the shelter, the staff told him about Daisy. He instantly fell in love with her soulful face and sweet disposition. He happily adopted her, but the municipality soon elected BSL (Breed Specific Legislation). The legislation came with punishing and punitive penalties against breeds such as her. BSL focuses on a dog for how it looks, not because that dog did anything wrong. It’s an outdated, antiquated law that makes dogs and loving owners suffer.
The young man frantically called his parents on the other side of the country because he worried about Daisy’s safety and well-being. They instructed their son to jump on a plane with Daisy and bring her home. He did just that, and Daisy never looked back.
Daisy lives in the lap of luxury on a one-acre country estate. The property is fully fenced, so Daisy can run safely for as long and as hard as she wants. She goes for dreamy beach walks along the Pacific Ocean with her parents, and she also enjoys a group dog nature walk in the woods with a motley crew of canines. When Daisy is on the group walk, she hilariously mothers all the dogs and leads the pack during the adventure.
This sweet girl is obsessed with babies and young children. She smothers them with kisses and is exceptionally gentle and loving with the squirmy children. She is a beautiful dog who is devoted and loyal to those who enter her life.
Daisy may have been about six years old when she was adopted, making her 12 or 13 years old now. Even though she has lost her hearing, she is whip-smart and has learned hand signals. Her parents agree she may have learned to read lips because they can communicate with her as if she can still hear. They say that looking into her eyes, they see an old sensitive soul. As much as she loves her parents, she is her mom’s shadow and follows her everywhere. When Daisy goes to her veterinary clinic, she gets the bulk of attention whenever she has an appointment. The staff and veterinarians fawn over her and lavish her with treats and loads of belly rubs. Daisy loves the attention due to seeing what life was like before she was adopted.
Poor Daisy had been bred to exhaustion before she was found abandoned, tethered to a pole many years ago.
And even though her loving family has recently been given a grim medical diagnosis, mostly because of the excessive breeding, they say their grounded, unique, incredible girl is doing very well.
Rescue dogs like Daisy usually, and quite quickly, figure out they are in a safe home. She’s an easy breezy girl, and if you meet her on a Pacific Ocean beach, get ready for lots of kisses. Lavishing affection is Daisy’s unique talent.
Please be kind to animals.
