As the weeks and months went by he kept changing. When I first took him on walks he had to learn how to behave on a leash. He was afraid of the other dogs that we would meet. He went through a short phase where he became aggressive towards other dogs. Now he is fine with most dogs as long as they behave themselves. Kenny has no tolerance for a bully.
As he becomes more comfortable his personality has come out. He talks to me when it is meal time. When he sees I'm getting ready to take him for a walk, he runs around and howls.
His day involves keeping the backyard free of birds, cats, and squirrels. We don't have a buddy relationship. We have more of I'm his person as long as I do what he needs and wants. Training him is challenging. Food motivated helps. But want he has learned goes out the window if it is not to his advantage.
He is great little guy, considering what he went through it is amazing he has any room in his heart to trust another person.
