Layla - a major piece of the jigsaw puzzle that makes up our family

Layla is a rehome.

She has been part of our family now for 17 months since she was just 14 months old.

Previously living in a 2nd floor, two bedroomed flat with a family of seven couldn't have been much fun, though I know she was loved, the 5 children must have pulled her about quite a lot as she had real issues about being touched when she came to us. She was also overweight and didn't seem to know how to be a dog.

Since joining our family she has lost weight and learned how to play, sniff, track & search with Buddy her JR 'brother' who is the same age & has been with us since he was 8 weeks old. She has taught Buddy some manners & how to come when he's called.

She has become a major piece of the jigsaw puzzle that makes up our family.
