According to Karen, Sadie Sue is an “old soul” who has a special place in her heart for children and elderly people. While some dogs spend their days barking at the mail carrier or sounding the alarm over suspicious squirrels, Sadie Sue prefers a quieter approach to life. In fact, Karen says she never barks! Apparently, this gentle girl believes actions speak louder than words – especially when those actions involve making someone smile.

Of course, nothing makes Sadie Sue happier than a good old-fashioned car ride – especially when there's a “pup cup” waiting at the destination. For the uninitiated, that’s a little cup of whipped cream served up just for dogs, and Sadie Sue is clearly a connoisseur. We can only imagine the excitement when she realizes the family car is headed somewhere delicious!

She’s only 7, but Sadie Sue seems to have figured out the secret to a happy life: Be kind to everyone, appreciate the little things and always treat yourself.
