Answer 5

Not necessarily mental illness, more like remembering their past life or having a head or brain injury. I rescue a miniature blue heeler from the pound after she was returned twice. Once being abused and the other being neglected. She growls alot and hates certain house hold items, as if she was abused with them. She hates men and little kids but she is such a sweetheart. Just think, if you were mistreated, you might be a little messed up with certain things.
