Eskimo, Terrier, Lab mix

Bandit joined our family at a time he was needed most. He became Mom’s emotional support dog. Bandit was the master of barking at everything. It wouldn’t surprise us if he thought his name was changed to “Shut up”. Throughout Bandit’s 15 years with us, he lost his big brother Smoke and later gained Ace and Cooper as his sidekicks. Bandit was here to welcome each of our grandchildren into the world and became their protector. He loved sneaking snacks from all of them when they weren’t looking—especially pizza crust! Bandit always had to know where his mom was at all times, if not he would howl and cry. As Bandit grew older everyone tripped over him at least once. In his final days he was waited on hand and foot—-paw and paw, and the sneaking of snacks was overlooked. He will be missed! Thank you for being a great companion for 15 years.
