The little black lab was cowering in the corner farthest away from everyone else in the room both human and canine.
“This particular puppy was just so scared,” Mary Farren, a Melrose-based dog trainer, remembered. “I bring my dog out to see what the puppy does, if they’re snappy. When my dog went to do the obligatory sniff of the puppy, he’d scream and run and find someplace to hide. A lot of times dogs will find their pack of people, and run to them.”

“But this particular puppy just didn’t have that relationship, and he didn’t know what to do with himself,” Farren said. The little fella, who wasn’t as accustomed with the smells and sights of everyday life, had no idea who to run to. “He was looking for a place to hide, and it was any corner that was as far away as he could get. It’s very sad.”
