More: We got Mia from a family when she was 2 years old. The family could not care for her and sadly, she was left in a crate for about 18 hrs a day. When we got her, she was literally afraid of everything, but once she was showered with love and affection, she quickly came into her own. This photo was one of the early photos of her and really represents, that for her, indeed life was truly wonderful!
