"Little Miss" or "My Little Mistake" ;)

This is ‘Little Miss,’ I named her the first day I accepted her into my tribe of two. Missy is a parvo survivor, and she was offered to me just after she began to feel better. Her owner told me she was so active that she had become destructive. She and Mr. Bentley played so well together that I agreed to take her without asking what he meant by ‘destructive.’ I found out that evening when she flew into a rage, and went about ripping things up in a fit of anger. Then she attacked Mr. Bentley, and before I could pull her off him, she had bloodied all four of his legs, bit his throat, and an ear, all were bleeding. Bentley was quite upset, she acted as if nothing had happened. In the following weeks, she demonstrated a scorched earth attitude, and refused to obey, choosing to challenge me at every opportunity. Little Miss is short for, ‘My Little Mistake,’ because I thought taking her in was just that. Angry at the world, I discovered that she had been regularly and severely punished. I realized she was testing my patience, but since I do not strike or punish dogs, she kept looking for ways to find the limits of my resolve. She finally gave up and began behaving. One year after taking in the Tasminian Devil Dog, you would not recognize her. She is still quite spirited, and prefers her way over mine, she really is a sweet heart, and a social butterfly, mischievous, she wins everyone’s heart, even those who hate the breed
