Luna
One of the most anxious and fearful dogs I ever worked with was Luna, a year-and-a-half-old yellow Lab mix. She had been adopted from the Pasadena Humane Society as a puppy by Abel Delgado, who chose her because she reminded him of himself when he was young. He explained to me that he grew up in a large family of Mexican immigrants in Los Angeles, and both of his parents worked all the time, so he was left to take care of his younger siblings, but with the constant worry about what he was doing or was supposed to be doing.
Abel is now a music teacher, conductor, and flutist who works with schoolchildren through his own nonprofit foundation, and he has managed to conquer any anxiety issues he had when young. Luna, on the other hand, was not doing so well. As Abel described it, she was terrified of anything that moved or made a noise—basically anything living. Any objects with wheels—bicycles, skateboards, trucks—would send her into a panic on walks, and her only concern was running away, with no regard for her own safety.
One day on a walk, Luna’s collar broke and she took off directly into traffic, where she was grazed by a car and then disappeared on the other side of the street. Luckily, Abel found her, uninjured. But it was clear that Luna’s problem demonstrated the most extreme form of this kind of anxiety: Her flight response completely overrode her sense of self-preservation, and she literally fled from one danger right into another. It took two solid months at the Dog Psychology Center, but Luna eventually returned to life with Abel, and now can even go with him to work, to calmly watch him conduct a large and very loud student orchestra.
