Introducing Sky - a very special dog
One day, after an expedition with friends to a wild and isolated west coast beach, my teenage daughter brought home a cross-bred bitch of a Bull Terrier type and about one year old, which she said she had found. We already had two dogs, and I certainly did not want another. I very crossly gave my daughter the task of finding the dog’s owner or taking her to the dog pound.
Within 24 hours this dog had completely won me over, so that when all efforts failed to find her owner, she simply stayed. It was the middle of winter – short, cold, wet days and continually grey skies. My daughter said “She reminds me of the sky in summer. I’m going to call her Sky”.
That was fifteen years ago. My daughter went off overseas and left me with Sky, who remains an important member of the family to this day.
