Bandit
Breed: Jack Russell
Barking from: Queensland
What's up dog?
My husband had a complete physical and mental breakdown after 9 reconstructive surgeries Bandit stayed by his side and on his lap ensuring he had someone with him at all times. Bandit rescued my husband from the unthinkable and continues to do this every day never leaving his side.
