Ugly (soon-to-be Mowgli) started to follow me, even though I was very rejective towards him. Nothing personal, at that time I was fully committed to other dogs that require my care, and honestly: he was the ugliest dog I’ve ever seen.
Perfectly archetypical: flies around his body, a hole in the head, one tooth missing and other characteristics that made me feel very repulsed. And even though I threw rocks at him (not to harm him, but to keep him away of me and my puppies), he persisted. 
Today he will lose his balls. And with that, he will also lose the fear that is still rooted in his inner wounded puppy, the one that gets triggered when there is a broomstick around. Or humans in general. Because you know, who wouldn’t be afraid of a careless human?
