More: Kate is named after Princess Kate Middleton; her sister's name is Pippa (just like the real Kate). Both were rescued from Saving Paws in Arizona, and are happy, well-adjusted, CRAZY German Shepherds. We call Kate our "Little General" because she is the one who always makes sure everyone is accounted for and that no danger is near. She can hear someone blow-drying their hair from a mile away and will bark and do her parameter searching to make sure we are all safe. In one word, she brings us "joy."
