After many years of hatred from my neighboring South African Boerboel Junk Yard Guard Dog, I finally reached her with warm greetings, attention, communication, physical contact, familiarity, some cookies here and there, and I think most important of all... finding out what she likes.
Bonding with any animal is no secret. Besides doing the obvious, discover what makes them happy and share it with them freely. It even works with humans :) In Mrs. Vicious's case it was scratching's and tennis balls.
It took me about 6 months to get to this point; working with her about 4 times a week, taking a small bit of my lunch hour at home and afterwork. I did not try before that because my other St. Bernard (who died) would fight her between the fence, so I would keep him away. My current St. Bernard is not as provocative as he was.
People ask... Why? Why bother them, why interfere, why must you be involved. The answer is simple. Because.
I don't see myself as a mere observer in this world but part of it. I get involved with everything around me; especially regarding the living. I care. Apathy was not why God placed me here. Enriching the lives of animals enriches me.
