He was friendly with other dogs, however one never knew when he would “turn” on us, so unfortunately after about $2000 in expenses of supplies, special food, vet bills, training and my Urgent Care visit, we retuned him to the rescue shelter. They adopted him out again to a lady with a young ( appears about 8) child! I did report it to the appropriate people.
A rescue dog, is sort of like a used car. They are all perfect but someone decided to trade it in, often for a valid reason. Forgive me, but you should have put that dog down.
My sister, has adopted 3-4 dogs over many years. One was bad news. Genetics, previous owner she never knew. The dog would see totally normal and then attack with no warning at all. It was far larger than your Pekingese. She was advised by a vet to put it down.
