Poor Sheldon was a two time loser pound puppy.Other adopters wouldn’t or couldn’t handle him.I knew he would die in that place so I took him.It took some effort but he came around and is a super good dog now.The look of gratitude in his eyes is hard to describe,he has a life now here on the farm.He’s very protective,so yea he would do anything to save me from harm.
