Sadie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sadie
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: St. Bernard
Home: Chicago, Illinois, USA
 
   This is my smooth-coated St. Bernard, Sadie, who's four years old. This picture was taken the day we went to Michigan to meet my parents' two new Bernese Mountain Dogs, Max and Charlotte. The three dogs hit it off from the first meeting and are now great pals.

    I heard about Sadie through St. Bernard Rescue and adopted her just two days before a local shelter was scheduled to put her down. She took some time learning that she could trust me. One of the best ways we built that trust was through obstacle work. She's the only giant breed I've seen climbing an A-frame, leaping hurdles, climbing a tire wall, wiggling through fences, etc. She loves it and so do I. Sadie's a wonderful pet who will do anything to please people.
