In Italy, I use to have a dog named Sandy. We originally  got  her at the Humane Society in Washington State, and then brought her over to Italy when we moved. Sandy was a mixed between a  Golden Receiver/German Shepard. Sandy was funny because she was the smartest and dumbest dog that I have ever had. She was smart in the sense that she was clever, because she would find different ways of getting away with things. She find ways to open the gate so she free herself from the house and then close the gate after she came back. I know this personally because I watched her do it. She was also very skilled at catching and killing animals. Among the victims include cats, rats, mice, and birds. In this way she was very smart. But in other ways, she was also very dumb. Almost every time we gave her a bone, she would forget where she buried it. Sometimes she would spend the whole day trying to find the bone that she buried the day before. Also she would chase planes that she saw in the sky but then run into things because she wasn’t looking forward. And then she would also chase her own tail and run in a circle trying to catch it. But all in all, we loved her very much. When we left Italy, we decided to leave her with our neighbor because she needed a guard dog. I really miss that dog. Here are some pictures of my brother and Sandy from 10 years ago.
