 Dear Suddenly Defiant

I knew of a dog once that was adopted from a local pound, sweetest dog for several years. The family adored him & returned to the shelter often for social events. They loved the lil guy! Well he too had a change in personality and it turned out that he had been bit by a tick and had lyme disease..so you may want to have him tested, there are solutions to that also if that's what it is.
Good luck & best wishes.

 Sounds Crazy

This might sound "crazy" but get the teeth checked.I had a similar problem and it turned out to be rotten back teeth. Eating thought was never a problem.We had them removed and is back to the good natured pooch we had before.
