Leila came to us from the AZBTR described as a happy-go-lucky, loves people, and
loves any attention in her bio. We were also told she doesn’t quite know how to
play with other dogs, let alone sharing her toys. After acknowledging that and
wanting to work with her on these small things, we found this to be completely
the opposite. A friend of ours brought her dog, Buddy, an Australian herding dog
to meet with Leila. The two hit it off right away and became best of friends.
She even shared her toys! We thought that the bio was talking about a different
dog.
In the three months of having her, she has successfully mastered commands in both
voice and sign language. Leila quickly learned to trust us and she would bark at
strange noises outside the house to protect her home. From being told she has had
a rough start in life, Leila quickly realized that she was here to stay. During
this time, we could see her personality develop as well. As a true Boston Terrier,
people are caught off guard when they settle down in our couch and she jumps up and
licks their face. Her favorite thing to do is take her Dino-ball, tease us with it,
and when we reach for it, she runs away. Her other favorite toy is the rope and
would play hours without getting bored of it.
Leila attended several important family functions so far, Thanksgiving, Tamale Day,
and Christmas Day. All in all, our friends and families love Leila very much.
Most importantly, we love Leila very much and are glad to have her part of our
family.
