Sabastion - Pet of the Month - April 2013

Sabastion's name is a little bit different, kind of like him.  He is a sweet Westie dog who has found a perfect companion in Bob.  Their story begins in 2007.  Sabastion was born in April. The breeder was unable to sell him and so for 6 months, he lived in a cage and had no training.  A couple adopted him, but found out that he had to be in his kennel all the time because of his behavior issues.  At the same time, Bob had some difficult times he was going through, and in the middle of it, his Sheltie died.  In a chance event, Bob went to this couple's house to help plan a benefit for a mutual friend.  They met every week for six weeks, and Bob fell in love with Sabastion on the spot.  He would bring a treat for him each night and whisper to him as he left "I would take you home in a heartbeat if I could..."  As the six weeks drew to a close, Bob was sad to know that he wouldn't get to see Sabastion any more.  As he gave him his treat and whispered to him, the couple told Bob he needed to take him home.  Sabastion was depressed as soon as he left.  He needed Bob as much as Bob needed him.   After only a couple accidents at Bob's place, Sabastion caught on and will do whatever Bob says.  Sabastion goes with Bob everywhere - they love to go fishing on his boat, go for walks, and to the dog park.   Sabastion isn't Bob's dog, he is his child!  They are a perfect match!
