Meet Vader, our family’s eight-year-old pug. He used to be pure black, which earned him his name, but age has given him a distinguished peppered look. His life philosophy is simple: sleep as much as possible. His favorite treats are apples and popcorn, and he’s extremely loyal, friendly, and loving. He’ll come sit beside you and settle in to keep you company, content just to be near.
What makes Vader truly special is his emotional intelligence. When any of us are having a rough day, he always seems to know. He’ll find you and remind you, in his quiet pug way, that everything will be okay. He’s more than a pet. He’s a great friend who has earned a permanent place in our household and our hearts.
