If you never had a dog as an adult, DONT adopt a first dog as a very young puppy.

It will be a mess.

Adopt an already at least 2-3 years old dog. I suggest even a 5-6 years old, they are the best when not crazy already at that age in shelters. and look around and educate yourself with what good and bad dogs you think are for you.

Then ask God to reveal to you your next buddy soul mate in times of war.

Someone who understand how to raise dogs and what they want to educate the dogs essentially as important values about, is necessary for young ava gardner. And this is what Pinky did not get and we all see now she is not at her best.
