The memory behind the name:
In 1996 Wendy, a friend and operator of a local rescue group called me to
ask if Eric and I could stop by the following Sunday and look at a dog they had
just pulled from the animal shelter. She knew we were involved with training
German Shepherds for wilderness Search and Rescue, and she believed this female,
Skylar, was a candidate. I will never forget that Easter Sunday morning when we
met the most amazing canine. She was a natural working dog. The abilities of
this animal also explain why she was given up. Animal control had picked her up
running with another dog on a back road. When the owner showed up, he claimed
the smaller dog and told them
they could do what they wanted with the Shepherd; she was destroying his
house. We can honestly say that in
the 14 years she lived with us, she never destroyed anything in our home. Skylar
worked beside my husband for 9 years, helping to find missing people/children
both in the wilderness and in the water. All she wanted in this life was to
work and be loved. We also found that Skylar provided excellent therapy to
the many foster children that came to live in our home over the years. Many of our foster children learned about caring for something besides themselves, they learned about compassion and empathy by helping to care for the animals that lived with us .
