ilovebrie a few years ago I had to put my rescue dog into kennels for the first time since I'd had him, just for two days. Like you I was so worried he'd think he'd been abandoned again. When I went to collect him he came across the kennel yard on a lead sniffing at the floor and didn't see me until he was right at my feet. He sniffed, realised it was me and hit the roof. Howling and crying and licking and dragging me to my car, still howling and shaking and he kept that up all the way home. I have never in my life had such a welcome. I still fill with tears when I think of how pleased and relived he was to realise he wasn't abandoned and we were going home. He died a few months after that incident but he was n old boy.
