Sassy
October 10, 1970 - September 30, 1981
Sassy was the first boxer to grace my life, and what a legacy she has left. Our family knew nothing about boxers when Sassy came to us - and boy did she give us a crash course in all that was wonderful - and challenging, about the boxer breed. Sassy was my best friend and my hero. In 1972, she saved the life of my sister and myself by persistantly whining, barking and pawing at me to wake me up. Upon awakening I found that there was a fire in the kitchen. The firefighters said Sassy was a true hero - if a few more minutes had passed, we wouldn't have woken up. |
