Annoca...
he is going to LOVE you... big time!!! There is no way on earth that something as fateful as this could happen... so many hurdles overcome.. for it to be one of those million to one cases where the dog doesn't like the owner (I did see this once... on Dog Borstal)... But.. you are experienced with dogs, and his breed.
And... you weren't the nasty peeps that put him on planes trains n automobiles... you're his rescuer (for all he knows).
I think that as the days go by you are going to be moved by the similarities in Dante compared to Remy, and amused by the differences.
This was always gonna be the hard bit... after the frantic meeting of the deadline... the lull in activity.. the waiting... for what its worth... You're doing better than I think I would xxx
