Pet's Story or Bio
My mom and stepdad gave me Bandit when I was in the 5th grade. Our family dog had recently died and I had been absolutely devastated. I remember my parents picking me up early from school one day and I had no idea why. Of the litter, my stepdad convinced me to get Bandit because he was the oldest of the puppies, and would be the most playful. His official name is Andie’s Bandit. Bandit is now 12 years old and living in his home with my parents. I couldn’t stand to take him away when I went to college. The poor old man would miss his family and his yard, and I don’t think my stepdad would know what to do without him. I miss him very much. He is the best dog in the world, even though he always sneezes in my face.
