Dear BB,
Thanks for such a story. Happy endings are always good to hear.
When I had Fred the Welsh Collie, he was so excessively friendly that one day he got stolen. I searched for days. Went to the Police Station in Ross-on-Wye ... phoned the dog pounds. No joy, and three days later he came home, having been shampoo'd, groomed and looking like a new pin. He then became very cautious of people walking by after that. Changed in nature completely, though no less safe or loving, but very cautious. He must have spied a chance to escape and come back home. He was literally my shadow for several months after that. They are good at learning lessons.
Lu is quite similar, and there is no risk of her approaching or going with anyone she does not know well, but she is extremely kind to people she has known awhile. For those she likes she will roll over and ask for tummy tickle!
Best wishes from George
