Hi Sparkler. I got my dog from a foster carer in Torrevieja in April 2006. On the journey home, he soiled the car (probably from fright). He chewed up a car seat which had to be sent to Madrid to be recovered in the original leather. He then chewed up a panel with a speaker from the back of the car, and we had to wait 2 months for a replacement to come from South Korea. Then a fold-down armrest which had to be replaced with one from Germany. Other things he chewed were a sofa, a pair of Prada shoes, a pair of Gucci Sunglasses, several nice dresses that had just come back from the cleaners, numerous papers and magazines that we hadn't got round to reading.... and that's just the tip of the iceberg !!
However, he is now a much calmer dog, and so sweet-natured and well-behaved, you wouldn't think it's the same mutt. I couldn't be without him now.
