Our New Adoptee - Meryl - from TV's Dog Town

Why does she always have such a worried look on her face? Partly, it's just a cute face! Meryl can't help having that expression. But she's also a dog who's known some real heartache.  Dog Town
Meryl is one of the fighting dogs rescued from the property of former NFL quarterback, Michael Vick. Her life had been loveless; she had only been used for what her teeth could do. And when she was rescued, she wasn't deemed safe for a home. She was court ordered to live at Best Friends, instead. And now the goal is to give this precious dog the fullest life imaginable for her...
Best Friends dog trainer Ann Allums is working one-on-one with Meryl to teach her not to lash out in fear. Confidence is the key. Meryl needs to learn that people might be approaching her for a brand new reason - not because they want her to fight, but because they want to be her friend. Meryl is a playful dog who enjoys people once she gets to know them.
