So far, except for myself and Sparrow, only JH has attempted to supply some
actual advice and encouragement.

As the song says, "No divine purpose brings freedom from
sin." Just because you mean well doesn't mean you do good,
and offering bad advice to a dog in trouble is a really,
really irresponsible thing to do. I actually do have
experience with one withdrawn, asocial dog, but I'm not
enough of a meathead to think that experience with one dog
qualifies me in any way to help with another dog I've never
even seen.

But again, you see in Muttley whatever it is that's on your
mind at the moment, and then you universalize it, and I'm
pretty sure you don't even know how completely out-of-touch
you are with dog behavior.
