More: Dash and Sadie were named after my dad using his initials DAS. Both were born and bred in Germany. Dash was one of three puppies-he ‘picked’ Sadie as she scared the other two puppies away with a growl lol. They have lived in GE, CO, TX and UT. They ‘spoke’ German and English for many years, Sadie was trained in search and rescue and Dash certified as a pet therapy dog. Sadie passed this 14July 21 and is missed by both Dash and myself every minute of every day.
