Took a year or two. He even had physical issues over that first year. At one point there was an Auto-immune disorder eating away at one of his front elbows. Vet said it was likely scar tissue from an old injury that was being rejected by the body. The vet ('ole Dr. Renda) didn't have a very good prognosis.

Chip's degenerative condition in his leg healed on it's own and it's never come back.. I didn’t realize a dog could be so loyal until Chip came into his own. Took a year or two.
