This story brings to light the powerful spirit of an unwanted dog, and his desire for love. Although I had never been a dog owner, Sippi very quickly won my heart, and became my dog. Our lives took on the simplest and most joyful of ways, and in that simple life, my love for Sippi grew stronger every day. As did his defiant attitude. Our adventures weren’t always planned, and the consequences were sometimes unexpected. Sippi needed boundaries just to hold down the general chaos. I always seemed to find myself asking God, “Did you give me the dog from hell?”Our lives together would bring lasting friendships and harsh challenges. But without Sippi, I would have never experienced the love of a lifetime.
