Name: Sara

   Who is this wonderful little girl? This is Sara Linda, she was a gift for my 11th birthday from a local shelter called Save-a-dog. She was found in Kentucky, skinny as a stick and homeless. With much time and effort the wonderful Save-a-dog volunteers found her owners. It turned out that she was a little escape artist and climbed the family's chain link fence. They were tired of chasing her and eventually just let her loose for good. My mom knew that I wanted a puppy to keep my dog Belle company. When I arrived home from school on the birthday I was greeted by kisses and wet noses. Sara was named after a princess in a book The Thirteen Clocks, because her fiery red hair reminded me of Princess Sara Linda.

    Sara is incredibly friendly and loves people!!! She was obviously abused in her past because of the way she flinches at any quick movement. Sara is a complete and total mutt. But I know for a fact that she has whippet in her past because of the way she runs! Pomeranian is clearly where she got her beautiful red coat, Spitz is in her curly tail, Chihuahua is in the shape of her little head. And last but not least is Jack Russell Terrier is in her personality and digging!!! All in all my little girl is a perfect Heinz 57!

    Sara is my little shadow, she treats me like a mother duck. She would follow me to the end of the Earth if I walked there! She is also easy to train and very obedient. Every day at 5:00 I feed her, she can't touch her meal until I say to 'go'.

    Sara is not only my best friend she is my baby, I love her to death! And it's dogs like Sara that show you don't have to be purebred to be wonderful!
