What a beautiful dog! His coat doesn't look too bad considering he's been living rough for a while. Hope you manage to build a rapport with him soon.

I know its not the same but we had a stray cat hanging round the house for months. He'd come and eat the crusts of bread that we put out for the birds but wouldn't come near us. We started putting cat food down for him and watched and waited. He was around all through winter, sheltering under the car or in the log store.
I was determined to win his trust. Each time I put food out for him, I'd sit nearby, waiting for him to come and eat, no movement or sound. As he got used to me being there, I'd move a little closer each day until I was almost within touching distance. I reached out my hand, ever so slowly, and he came closer. I touched his matted fur and he started to purr!! It was like a miracle - but it had taken almost a year before we got to that point.
Mr Scruffy was a long haired tabby and he became part of our family, with another cat and a dog. They all got on so well together and we had him for years.

I hope Didi becomes your friend too. Smile
