We adopted an adult dog about a year ago.
We came home today and he'd had an upset tummy (too many treats at training methinks) and we had liquid poo all down the hall. As I stepped in the door, my first reaction was to cry out 'Oh no, what's this'. I turned around and saw poor dog an absolute quivering mess by the door. He was terrified. I felt so bad for him, poor dog. Someone must have punished him very harshly for accidents in the past, poor thing.
