Jade, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jade
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female Breed: Rottweiler
Home: Norfolk, England
 
   My dog Jade is so special to us because she is so gentle, the original gentle giant and she has an amazing knack of knowing when something is wrong with any of our children. We have three kids, one of whom has a terminal heart condition. When he was born three years ago, and before being diagnosed with his condition, Jade spent weeks not leaving his side, until he was rushed into Great Ormound Street and we were told of his condition. Then she seemed to know that we knew and relented from guarding him constantly.

    Our oldest child Synayde went through a stage of night terrors (bad nightmares) but just before she would get hysterical, Jade would wake her and sit with her until she was calm again. I believe she is very much in tune with the family and I know as long as we have her with us we will all be safe, she is truly a remarkable dog.
