Dog shunned for her looks finally has a friend

They really couldn't find anybody to adopt her because she was deemed ugly. She's very shy, very socially awkward, kept getting bullied by other dogs. I was studying in the Philippines as an international student, and I just decided to adopt her even though I was studying at the time. She wasn't sure how to behave in my house. Actually, when I was bringing her home in a taxi, she threw up right there. And I had to kind of clean it up with my hands, and the driver was mad at me. But, you know, all the best stories have the rough start. But once we spent that first night together, and once I showed her that she's safe there, there are no other dogs there, she kind of opened up to me. People would say to me that, what an ugly dog, or her teeth really need braces, or why didn't you just give her to a shelter, or why did you adopt that breed if you could have gotten a dog that is a purebred dog. Her personality is really not what you'd expect, because she's delusionally confident. When she's guarding the house, she hears noises outside, and she lets them know that she's here. Like, she thinks that, although she has trouble socializing with other dogs, when it comes to her protecting her territory, her home, she's very brave. And she's not really good at risk assessment. So one time, actually, when we were robbed, she chased the burglars for 20 minutes into the jungle, and I guess, like, she really wanted to get them, you know. She only wants carrots. That's her favorite toy. I only buy her carrot toys. I give her massages every night. Sometimes it's feet massages, sometimes it's head massages, sometimes it's back massages, but she really loves getting feet massaged right before bed. Otherwise, she wouldn't go to sleep. She's extremely clingy. One time, I left the window open, and she jumped out the window and went after me to a store. And I noticed that only when I left the store and I went back home, and she's standing right there. She's insecure in terms of she is scared that I'm going to leave her. That's why she always follows me around. I learn to kind of calm down when I leave the house, even though it's really... I'm always nervous when we leave, because I don't want her to feel sad or lonely. I'm her mom.
