Tilly would love to hear from other rescue dogs. apart from our own pack she is often used as a 'demo dog' by a canine behaviourist who uses her to demonstrate to his training classes for rescue dogs the extent of how far a little dog who nobody wanted can succeed with the right amount of love, training and attention, so any rescue dog isa friend of Tilly's.
