We have taken in two dogs from shi^D^D^D places with feral dog populations (Eastern Europe and Sardinia). Both were ill and heavily traumatized (took me two years before I was able to touch the one of them).

It took 2-3 years per dog and lots of financial and time investment for good food, medicine and upbringing to get them to be somewhat normal.

Are you sure you haven't simply rationalized the dysfunction away?
