Many of you may already know Bandit's story. He spent his entire young life in a commercial breeding facility with virtually no good human contact. It has traumatized him so that he is very afraid of people. Afraid to be touched, afraid to eat or drink when a human was near and afraid to love. He has been in RAGOM's care for more than a year. Definitely the longest I have ever had a foster in my 14 years with RAGOM! But he has come soooo far now! He easily lets me pet him, sits on the couch with me and comes for snuggles in the early morning hours. He will never be the happy and care free Golden we envision but he has JOY in his life! Joy especially outside wrestling and running with my dogs-or any dog really. He loves me now and also several other trusted humans. Please consider sponsoring us for the walk to ensure that RAGOM can continue to save gentle, scare boys like Bandit.
