I had a lovely dog a few years ago that I feel trusted me. I had rescued Snow from a shelter where they were getting ready to send him to be euthanized. I was able to take him home where he became a trusted member of our family. I could do anything to Snow. He would come when I called him, slept at the foot of my bed and stayed in whatever room I was in. If he felt someone was threatening me, he would get between us. Snow passed away at well over 20yrs of age. I have a little 10lb dog now that I also feels trusts me. She comes running to the door when I have been out and comes when called. She lets me do anything to her without complaint.
