We rescued a golden retriever 8 years ago who had been abused. She was 10 months old at the time. She still has issues with some circumstances, like being cornered in the bathroom with no means of escape, even though she is in no danger of being hit or hurt. Or being approached in the dark, especially if she's sleeping. Things like that. She doesn't react viciously but just rushes out or away and will knock you over if you're not careful. It's sad how they can carry that terror with them for so long.
