Sassy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sassy
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
 
   Sassy is such a sweet-natured dog. She loves people and can't give enough (or get enough) love. She is truly my son's dog (he's the master) and when he is home, she follows him everywhere, but she does love her mom and dad and she really loves her babies and knows each by name. Sassy must have eight stuffed animals and plays with each everyday. She is holding "Bowny," the name my son had given his brown dinosaur when he was age two. If you ask her to get Bowny, she'll get it. She loves to play with all her babies and is a big baby herself. Heaven help you when a storm is coming because she is in your face constantly trying to make you aware of it. Sassy knows when you're not feeling well even before you realize it yourself. She was always at her dad's feet and following him everywhere for several weeks before we had to take him to the hospital for emergency surgery. (She knew he was ill before we did.) She always stays close to me when I'm not feeling well, always checking to make sure I'm okay. She loves our granddaughters too and will let them do anything they want. She stands perfectly still, always looking at one of us, letting us know she's okay and won't hurt them. Sas is very aware of their size and how small they are and they're always gentle with her. She is a very loving and giving pet, one who makes each day special just because she's there to share it with us.
