More: My friends did a 'Go Fund Me" without me knowing, to help pay for Sage. She is AKC registered. Sage is also a trained service dog through Dog Tag Buddies a local Montana non-profit. I named her Sage because she is a blessing. (Sage is used by Native Americans and churches for blessings.) Sage never misses a road trip, a hike or a fishing trip. She was boat trained before kenneled trained. The cold does not bother her and she loves the water. She has her own Facebook page, "The Adventures of Sage." I am a 24 year combat vet and Sage has changed my life. Dogs are truly mans best friend.
