Name: Gypsy Rose
Louise Salerno

Gender: Female
Breed: Thirteen-Inch Beagle

   My daughter Gypsy is a great companion, has the most pleasant personality, and is the quietest canine I have ever known. If she barks once a month it's a lot. I named her after one of the most interesting personalities of the 20th Century - Gypsy Rose Lee. She has done the name proud! Anyone who has ever met her agrees that she is one of the best canines that they have ever met. She also has a secret identity. That's right, It's not a bird, it's not a plane, IT'S SUPER BEAGLE!!! Yes Super Beagle. The justice fighter not just for humankind, but for all creatures!!! As her mom, some may think I am being a bit partial, but Gypsy is the best child in this or any other universe!!!!! Sadly, Gypsy was called back to heaven on 8/11/1998. She is now not just Super Beagle, she is Super Angel Beagle!!!!!

    Besides dressing up, she enjoyed visiting people, going up to her country home, baking and especially eating. I know you are wondering how a dog could bake. Every Christmas, during our traditional cookie bake, Gypsy would help make thumb print cookies. Of course in her case, they were paw print. She would then give them out to her relatives, both human and canine.

    Though at times during her walk, she would pick up a scent and start tracking it, she was very gentle and never hurt another creature. Once there was a mouse in our house and she ignored it. She said it was because all creatures have a right to live.

    Gypsy rarely barked, but she had a way of letting you know what she wanted without ever uttering a sound. Everyone who ever met Gypsy though she was a fantastic dog. She touched everyone. When she passed away, even the technicians in her vet's office were in tears.

    Gypsy is one of a kind. I'm sure even now she is brightening up the universe.
