Sasha is a 9-year-old rescue pittie who has a lot of social anxiety. Her mom, Mary Lynn Cristiano, would have never thought she would be able to make any dog friends. But Sasha surprised her.
Mary Lynn describes her dog as awkward and anxious. She doesn’t like other dogs, she doesn’t like toys, she sits and eats awkwardly. It’s like she doesn’t know how to do dog things. She is also very attached to her mother, always wanting to be near her.
But, one day, Mary Lynn brought home Biagio and Donatella, two new dogs. She wanted to introduce them slowly to Sasha, hoping she would be able to get used to their presence. After just two weeks, the dogs became best friends, much to Mary Lynn’s surprise. Sasha had especially taken a liking to Donatella.
The girls are now inseparable. They are always together, cuddling and playing around. Sasha is a compulsive licker, and, before the dogs arrived, she would constantly lick her parents. Now, they are off the hook, as Sasha has turned her attention to Donatella. She is constantly licking her sister, and, the best part is, Donatella doesn’t mind at all. In fact, she enjoys getting baths from Sasha.
This has turned into a daily routine for the sisters. Every day, they occupy the couch, getting into their spa session. Donatella gets a bath and a massage, which leaves her skin clean and moisturized, and Sasha gets to relieve her anxiety. It’s a win-win situation. Sasha is now happier than ever. She socializes with her brothers all the time, and she has even started playing with toys. She loves tennis balls and always has one near her. Her mother’s little experiment was a great success.
