Unlike most dogs we get into rescue, we have an almost complete history of Rigby's life before he ended up at the shelter. Until a few months ago he spent all his time with his brother Harley before being returned alone - most likely because of his allergy issues.

Some dog's prefer to not share the limelight with other dogs but then others, like Rigby, feel most comfortable when they have a buddy to hang out with. It has been interesting to see how he is really drawn to Sal and Chima and even when they weren't that sure of him would politely sit as close to them as they would allow. Now that they know him well he is just one of the gang and gets to snooze in a dogpile, wrestle with Chima when she's feeling playful, or just follow the girls around, joining in their "adventures" while playing outside.

When he's been out with just me he is noticeably more on edge and insecure. If I take one of the other dogs along - say for a trip to the vet or the pet store - he is completely calm. So wherever this boy ends up, he should probably have a pal.
