A volunteer writes: Young Chase is with us as his owner could not take care of a pet anymore. Chase is also not …any dog. Indeed, beside to need some basic training every puppy requires, he is affected by a condition called fly biting…, the result of epilepsy or OCD. Hum..Quite different entities. Chase barks in his kennel when he sees a potential caretaker. The sight of the leash gets him in the sitting position and speechless… He is ready…He pulls toward the yard and catches invisible flies on the way. He does his business without marking as we leave the building. He does not care for a scarf and indicates that he wants to play ball, carrying one in his mouth and bringing it to me..How is that. A smart boy!!! He really plays beautifully and excitedly, leaps, jumps in the air..He is so happy to be in company.. There are lots of flies in the yard, real ones and Chase goes after them too. He also sometimes suddenly pecks at his body, may be reacting to an invisible insect. It is quite a sight. Chase is otherwise a very loving pup who sits on command, comes when called and enjoys hugs and caresses. He likes to chase birds and play tag. He welcomes people and dogs alike when they come to our gate. Chase has been beautifully cared for and is one good looking youngster .He lived with a child and is know to be friendly and respectful to all. He would not be a cat lover… Chase who is at the Manhattan Care Center aced his behavioral evaluation and is just waiting to go home with …you
