#138 SADIE (Shepherd/St Bernard)Hillsdale, MI-Branchville, NJ

SADIE #138, a 6 month old, 66 pound, female Shepherd/St. Bernard puppy is our latest successful transport and was done by our newest driver John K within days of his coming on board with us.

John picked Sadie up near Hillsdale, MI, from Linda P and transported to Scranton, PA. John says Sadie didn't want to get out of the truck. He had to enlist the help of Sadie's new "Mom" Timerly H who had arrived from Branchville, NJ, to take Sadie home.

It wasn't so much Sadie liked the truck so much she didn't want to leave. Not at all. She wasn't so sure about this type of riding. She just realized Timerly was her ticket off this shaky, noisy, rolling, walk-in closet and she'd better take advantage of the opportunity to get off, that perhaps better things were in store for her.

Buddy, John's Lab X traveling companion, did his bit in this transport as well. At one point when John got both dogs out to take a walk, Buddy decided John's ability to handle Sadie's leash wasn't enough. He took Sadie's leash from John's hand and continued to "walk" Sadie himself, leash in his mouth.

John reports Sadie went to a loving family who lives on 14 acres and has two children with whom Sadie can play.
