Juno is doing extremely well now. He is completely housebroken, has learned to tolerent being in the car and can walk past people on the street without cowering away. The biggest improvement I've seen is that he really trusts is owner now, and has even allowed a few people to pat him! Interestingly Bruno more easily adjusts to men rather than women. In my long career working with dogs I'm accustomed to mishandled or neglected dogs initially responding quicker and more positively to woman.
Juno is now capable of learning a few basic commands now. We are starting with commands to come and sit for now. I want to be certain that we aren't pushing him too quickly as to avoid any setbacks in his confidence. I am quite impressed and surprised by his quick progress. His new owner clearly is taking his rehabilitation very seriously.
