WHITE BOXER FRIENDLY

SIDNEY'S PAGE

These are pictures of Sydney. She has a few white spots and also some small brown ones but is mainly white. She also has beautiful pale blue eyes that look almost human. We found her in a small pet shop in Malaysia. My son came home really upset because he had been told by a Malaysian friend, that the pet shop gave all dogs that weren't purchased, to a Chinese/Korean Restaurant once they became too big to be cute. I verified this and we went and bought Sydney from the pet shop. She is a real sweet heart and though she is directionally deaf and can only hear higher pitched sounds (which makes calling her an interesting experience) she quickly became one of the family. She is very protective if the children, and she proved to be worth every cent we paid for her ,when she was about 7 months old, she was outside, playing with my children, when I heard her start to bark and growl. It was obvious something was wrong as she usually never makes a sound unless there is a unwelcome visitor or cat around. I rushed outside and found her barking furiously at a 4 foot snake that had entered the garden. The children had gone over to have a closer look and Sydney, sensing danger was determined to stop them, she had placed herself between them and the snake and every time the children tried to move towards the snake, she would bark and snarl at them. She was watching the snake over her shoulder and if it moved she would bark at it!! I got her and the children inside, gave the kids a firm snake lecture and Sydney a huge piece of topside steak. I firmly believe that while buying and loving her may have saved her life, she had probably saved at least one of my children's lives. I don't know if the snake was poisonous, but neither did she and it didn't stop her from protecting the family she loved. No amount of money can buy that kind of loyalty!!! We have now moved to South Africa and of course Sydney came with us. She will also be traveling to Australia when we return there in a few years time.....she will certainly be a well traveled Dog!!
