Sadie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sadie
Age: Twelve years old
Gender: Female Breed: Old English Sheepdog, Saint Bernard
Home: Louisville, Kentucky, USA
 
   This is my beautiful "Sheep-Bernard" Sadie Baby or Sadie Bird or Pupino. As you can see she is a perfect mixture of her parents - long hair and sense of humor from her mom and coloring and soulful eyes from her dad. Sadie was a rescue baby weaned at only a couple of weeks and wouldn't be around today if my vet hadn't called and told me about her. She was being passed off as a full Old English Sheepdog and was living in dirty and unsafe conditions. Even though I wasn't ready for another dog, off we went for an adventure together.

    To look at this huge goofy looking girl you wouldn't think that she is sensitive but she is clearly attuned to my moods and what's going on around her emotionally. I've never heard of Saint's being used as service dogs or therapy dogs but if this is consistent with the breed I think they would be perfect. I guess she got the drool factor from her mom the OES so she doesn't drool much unless there is some mouth-watering people food she's trying to get.

    People should never be afraid of rescue dogs. Sadie has brought me years of joy and I sure do hope that she feels the same way about me. She's my Dog of the Day.
