   This is Sambuca, but we call her Boo. What makes our Boo special? Everything! We went to the Broward Humane Society in March of 2005, this was about two and a half months after we had gotten married and I moved from New York to Florida. We had just gone to look around and long story short we found this little black puppy the called Lucy Lucille. She was very playful and wasn't afraid of us when we met her. She captured our hearts on the spot and has been such a bright spot in our lives everyday since.

    Boo is so social she loves people, kids and other dogs. She trained so easily, she's extremely smart. Yet she is so lovable, we fought for weeks to keep her out of our bed at night, but lost. However in the last six months, she doesn't always go to sleep with us and we miss her.

    This summer we had a baby boy, whom Boo has come to love and of course is a bit jealous that some of her attention is being showered onto this new baby, but we've made a very big effort to give Boo all the attention she needs too, she was here first. Our son looks for Boo and Boo looks for him. They've been seen sleeping next to one another on our bed and Boo is always happy to give the Baby a kiss.

    Last month a friend of the family had come to our house to meet our son and Boo had never met him before. When the visitor approached the baby and went to motion his hand towards the baby in his carriage, Boo growled at him. She protected our baby on instinct! Boo loves and protects us and that baby with her whole heart. We knew she was special before this but after this incident we love her even more and she is even more special and precious to us and our son.
