My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

on 10/9/24 I visited Franky in his kennel. He was curled up, feigning sleep. I entered his kennel, tossed treats, and sat down to enter some notes on my phone in SL. When I was done, he had eaten any treats or moved; he was still curled up feigning sleep. I slid my hand on the ground toward him and he began to exhibit fret/fidget behavior. FAS 4

On 10/22/24 I took Franky outside. He was standing at the front of his kennel and seemed interested in my presence. I opened the door, and he shied away. I moved slowly and was able to leash him. He was hesitant at first, but then walked outside.
Once outside, he seemed to pace a lot, avoiding me. I let him have the yard to himself for a bit. I tried gauging his interest in toys, but he didn't seem interested. I was able to get him leashed again. I knelt down and slowly pulled him towards me so I could reach him. He accepted some gentle petting, but wouldn't come closer to me. Video uploaded.

Franky and Samantha had a meet and greet. Franky was timid and anxious throughout his time. Samantha loved being with people, but would often overcorrect Franky's normal behaviors (sniffing, etc). She seemed to vary between having fun, exploring, being with people, then running up on Franky with hackles raised snapping. She took correction well from handles and would go about her business. Franky never retaliated and remained timid.
