Sierra
is a purebred Jindo - a breed from the island of Jindo off the
coast of Korea. I rescued from going to the pound when he was six months
old because his previous owner lost her house. Sierra is more my child
than a pet as I am so very lucky to have him to love and to be loved by.
1,500 years ago the Asian mariners took Asiatic wolves to the island of
Jindo and they became the Jindo breed, they also took some to Australia
and those became the Dingos. The imperial court of Japan declared the
Jindo breed their 53rd natural monument. They say the Jindo has the
strength of a wolf and the agility of a cat and I agree.
Sierra wears his sun glasses and bandana everywhere we go. He always
draws a crowd of both kids and adults many wanting to take his picture,
Sierra happily poses for them as he is a bit of a ham and loves the
attention. He was on the TV news for the local Santa Barbara stations
following and because of the 9-11 tragedy. He also was just asked to be
in a music video which he gladly did, again loving all the attention.
