Rocky

A paragraph that tells voters something fun or interesting about the dog in the photo. Is this a Taysia Blue dog? A rescue dog? If so, how long has he or she been a part of your family? Can you share something special that we could include on our calendar if your photo wins?
Rocky was dropped at a shelter when his previous owners "lost their home". The shelter was told that they had a total of 3 dogs, yet neither of the other dogs were relinquished. After adopting him we found that he was very destructive when left home alone (eating through drywall!) and howling like crazy if left in a crate when home alone. I wonder if these were the real reasons why his previous owners had given him up.
Since then we have worked with him, even though he still has severe separation anxiety. He has now been home with us for 2 years as of May 2014! He will be with us for the rest of his life no matter what happens. He is my best friend and I can't wait for my future children to fall in love with him as I have.
