| Saylor came into my life 10 years ago as my 7th guide dog puppy in training. When I say he's been with me my entire adult life I'm not kidding, he came to me just 5 days after I graduated high school. He was the cutesy puppy I've ever seen. |

| He was the cutest puppy ever! |
Our tight bond comes from our first summer together, I moved to Denver to begin college early. I was extremely homesick and lonely, but having Saylor helped me to finish the summer semester.

| Big ears! |

| At college, he's a smart pup |
A year later it was time to send him back to California so he could become the guide dog he was meant to be.....or was he? He had been gone about 7 weeks when I received the most amazing phone call ever. Turned out he had a vision problem and couldn't work as a guide dog, they asked if I wanted to keep him as a pet! I started jumping up and down and crying hysterically. He was officially mine.

| My handsome boy! |
We've grown up together through relationships, college, marriage and now motherhood. He has been my devoted companion through it all. I am so blessed to have had him through all the ups and downs. He is my first baby and I'll love him always.
