I remember when I first met Kirby.  I came home from work and there was this strange red dog with a head and ears that were way too big for his body.  He was really scared of me.  He didn't yet realize that I was just a big softie, and I hadn't realized yet that he hadn't been around people for the first 6 months of his life.  He had spent his life playing with other animals on a farm in Ohio.  It took him some time to warm up to me.  I remember quite a few times taking him on a walk that he seemed eager to take, but then a few hundred yards from the house he would panic and try and run home as fast as he could.. me running behind him trying to keep up seemed to scare him even more.   It didn't take him long to realize that I was a big playtoy and was good for wrestling with and gnawing on.  I think he realized that about the same time he realized that I was a good source of food.
