Our family dog Sadie

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

I can’t think of an object I was attached to as a child, but I do remember being very attached to our family dog Sadie as a toddler. Sadie was a border collie who loved me and my very first memories are of patting her and climbing on her back to ride her. Mum could put me in the backyard in my baby bouncer and Sadie would lie next to me, guarding me. Unfortunately Sadie didn’t have a long life, she was run over by a vehicle when I was still a toddler.  That was my first experience of death and I so hoped I could visit her in heaven.
