In hopes of filling the hole left by her previous German shepherd’s death, Laura and her husband adopted a new dog. In fact, she never anticipated that she would instead be pushing herself from that family.
Laura ended up being the third wheel after bonding with her husband and German Shepherd.
“I just wish Rusty would love me a fraction as much as he loves my husband,” she told GeoBeats Animals.
But Laura didn’t care about that. It actually made them want him even more. She knew all Rusty needed was for people to treat him with kindness, respect, and love. Warnings like that would probably turn a lot of people off. But not Laura and her husband. While Laura admits that she did have to work through some “challenges” with Rusty. But eventually, he warmed up to the new humans whose custody he was in.
“He just kind of clicked and bonded with my husband,” Laura said. “They would lay on the couch together and fall asleep in each others’ arms, literally.”
Peteducate reports that German Shepherds enjoy cuddling. Loyalty and protection are among their characteristics. Showing affection and being close helps them ensure their owners are safe.
Laura soon found that she was the odd man out at 10 p.m., when Rusty and her husband went to bed together. It’s not uncommon for Laura to stay up later than usual.
The last thing she wants to do is go to bed because Rusty always takes up more space than she does. Laura points out that it is “unfair.”
“He doesn’t know his own size. They cuddle all the time, even when they’re sleeping. And it’s so unfair because when I crawl into bed, I’ve got my tiny spot,” Laura said.
“This woman is so kind and supportive. She brought her husband a boyfriend and she seems to be enjoying their relationship. Rusty is loved, but I hope this kindhearted woman knows how much strangers appreciate her kindness.” A commenter said.
