Personality : Nala is usually shy and very anxious. You may have to squat down for her to come to you, and she may duck if you try to pet her head. Do NOT try to pick her up; she will panic. She has never shown any aggression toward humans, even when extremely afraid. She has, however, been attacked by other dogs and consequently gets uneasy if she is struggling to differentiate between play and aggression. She has never tried to go after another dog, but will give snappy warnings.
