He rescued her in February, which had started as a bad month with mood swings. Since Maisey arrived in our lives, he has been so full of himself, talking to everyone, socialising when dog walking, and is a changed man, Maisey is now back to full health and fitness, has learnt how to play and socialise with other dogs, she and my husband are best friends, due to one act of kindness.
