Oh dear, poor Lana. She will know something is 'wrong' but won't have a clue what it is.
I do hope her next humans will care enough to have patience with her and allow her to 'be herself' while learning.
It seems food aggression issues are one of the main things that can make a dog 'unadoptable'. I personally, completely understand and would not expect her to be any sort of Angel. She just needs careful handling, unconditional love, and routine. The person who adopts her has to have a realisitic attitude and a good strength of mind.
Dogs that don't like to cuddle....well, there are many dogs who don't always particularly like this. At least, not always when the human wants to, and especially by rambunctious children. Throwing onesself onto a dog and enforcing a hug/cuddle is usually just tolerated by dogs. Even by those who love a cuddle when they are ready.
It's about being sensitive and about real love, and allowing the dog space and giving respect.
I know Lana will find a nice home. Let's hope it's very very soon. I hope we get updated about that.
