Sunny is a smart and confident girl who loves to smile and play. Sunny was a stray when she came to the shelter. After she was spayed, her foster mom took her home. Although Sunny smiled constantly, she didn't show any interest in being petted or sitting close to anyone. Had she ever been anyone's pet? She was aloof except when it came to her foster brother. He was sad and withdrawn. He wouldn't interact with her or look at her. Sunny decided to make her brother her best friend. She began to lick him constantly and stare straight into his eyes. She followed him everywhere he went. She chewed on his legs, his ears, his jowls and his private parts. She ran at him barking. She ran away from him barking. All of this made her foster mom very nervous. She wasn't sure that Sunny's tough love was the correct approach, but after several weeks, Sunny and her brother were best friends. Sunny has gone from aloof to attentive. She listens to everything that her foster mom says and does it. She accepts affection and praise. She has become the schedule coordinator at their house. Sunny decides when it is time to get up and when it is time for bed. Like every good leader she is an early riser. She likes to go to bed at 8:30 pm. She now asks to go outside to potty. Because she is such a smart girl, her brother is learning to ask to go outside as well. We could go on about Sunny, but we'd rather you see her for yourself.
