I hated April because every time I saw her she put on her defense mode and acted like she wanted to bite me. Ears flat against her skull, teeth showing, low growl, eyes as hard as steel - what was there for me to like? Dogs love me, generally, and I love them back. I'm willing to make friends with strange dogs, so long as the dogs are friendly - which April was not.

I think all of your family's dogs were half feral, and some I'd say were three-quarters feral. They didn't like anyone but y'all. :P
