Brady is a very special boy! This guy is a mixed breed who came to Best Friends from a rescue group in Florida. One of the volunteers for this rescue used to stand in front of Brady's kennel and kick his door all day long. As a result Brady can be very reactive at his gate with people he doesn't know. Brady is a red collar dog, meaning that only staff members get to interact with him. When I first met Brady I was very intimidated by him. He didn't know me and as a result he really didn't like me that much. However armed with patience, and understanding of his history, and lots of treats Brady and I have become good friends. Once he knows you, you can pretty much do anything that you want with this guy! He loves car rides and hiking the south loop trail on the sanctuary. He enjoys his trips to the dog park and will sit and wait nicely for cookies and meals. But Brady's favorite thing is butt scratches!!! This boy will walk between your legs strategically placing his rear end right in front of you so that you can give him some scratches. Brady's story is a common one among animals I like to believe. Abandoned by his original people, left to rot at a shelter, and then further abused by us "humane" humans. However thanks to Best Friends Brady's story ends happily ever after. Thank God.
