Protective Instincts
Here is Daya towering over Raisin as if daring anyone to take her little-adopted puppy away from her and Raisin, sure of her mother’s protection is carefree. There were other animals with whom Daya and Raisin used to hang around but Daya, the protective and sort of possessive mother, was always only a step away from Raisin and would not let anyone near her.
Eat, Sleep, Repeat
Since Raisin and Daya found each other- they could not be separated even in their sleep. They planned their naps together and their eating schedules. Raisin felt loved and protected under Daya- and Daya gave Raisin all the attention this 6-week old puppy needed, but time to leave was drawing close.
Mama Dog
Daya healed, the foster mom said, “When she got to our house she was just a mama dog. She had her own baby and she took care of that baby, and it didn’t seem to me at all like she was struggling anymore.” Now that Daya had partially recovered, it was time for her to go back home.
Home Returning
“She(Raisin) just kinda got protection and love for the first time and that was important to come from Daya. I think in the end they both benefitted from it. When they felt like Raisin was feeling a lot better and Daya seems to be doing emotionally better… she went home.” Daya went back to her first foster mom and Raisin needed a new elder to take care of her.
A Brother
It was hard to let go of Raisin, the foster mom said, “I think I was lying to myself from day 1. After Daya was out, I think we were pretty much dead set on having her (Raisin). Now she is bonding with our dog and I think she learned all that from Daya.” But Charlie was not excitedly receptive of her.
Extra Careful
Charlie was a little apprehensive around Raisin, his owner said, “Charlie is a big dog and was TERRIFIED of her. He just didn’t want to hurt her so he was being overly cautious.” Raisin was however too cute to resist. She is a strong and bouncy pup who even got Charlie to open up as can be seen in the video ahead.
