When we walk in the house, she's there.
Throughout the night she checks in on each one of us.
When we celebrate by opening gifts she celebrates along.
When a stranger comes to our house, she warns us in her unending protective nature.
She knows when we are happy; she feels it when we're sad. Her affections for us are boundless.
She's our dog. Her name is Sasa.
Sasa and Ella have developed a bond unlike any other in our family.
Ella watches her eat and Sasa always returns the favor. Ella gives her hugs and Sasa delights in them. Ella often requests to sit with her and Sasa always makes room.
It's a beautiful spectacle to witness when a young girl, confined to a wheelchair, and her lifelong companion, her dog, interact. Ella adores Sasa with all of her heart, all of her soul...and Sasa seems to have been made for Ella.
A tribute to our friend, our companion, our protector, our one-and-only...Sasa.
