For my dog, Sally.

A contrary dog who came through for me when I needed her.

My dog, Sally is a contrary dog who never came when called and always managed to rip apart the trash can at every opportunity. But when my Mother died and my wife was away, I cried like a baby. Sally came to me and laid her head in my lap. She let me know she was there for me.
She's now 11+ years old, blind, and diabetic. She'll be gone soon, but she'll always be the puppy that was there for me, and until she decides to leave, I'll be there for her. I ride for Sally.
