We really enjoyed our time with Ben, but it became very clear early on that his fear of people would be his downfall in his life with us, but still we persevered with him. Ben has a wonderful temperament, with not a nasty bone in his body.
We had a few glimmers of hope with him, but these were always in the early hours (and I mean early - 2am), when he had us up for his toilet duties! I suppose it was so quiet with no other people around to frighten him.
We have never known a dog wag his tail so fast & bend his body in excitement too see you & then in the same breath wont come when you call him! That was very disheartening for us.
We are gutted that it hasn't worked, but are happy that he will find his true calling as a Working Collie!
As a final note we would like to thank John & Deb for keeping their end of the deal and being so understanding when we returned Ben to them.
