Sadie Mae Baird is a delightful real-life mixed breed dog rescued as a puppy by a very typical middle-class suburban teenage boy on Christmas Day, 2006. Sadie, however, is not a typical canine. She is a very wise, insightful and compassionate girl with much to share not only with her family but also with her readers. Sadie is a Canine Avatar, a living creature with a spirit that seems much older and wiser than her current incarnation would suggest possible. Sadie's "purpose" is to attempt to awaken the creatures residing upon planet earth of the inter-connectedness of all aspects of life to the expanded experience of us all. Sadie will warm your heart with her simple and practical approach to appreciating the beauty and bounty of life that surrounds each and every one of us each and every day.
