SAGA. The dog. Name - derived from the old Scandinavian word expressing a "tale, story", usually associated with mythology and stories about Vikings' voyages. As a matter of fact, it has nothing to do with tea , and my alleged uttermost love for it, as some have suggested. :P Rescued from a dog shelter, in Gdańsk ( Promyk ) in January, the 21st. Must be around 8-10 y.o. according to the people in the dog shelter and the vet I consulted afterwards. When I first saw her on the shelter's website that's what I saw: http://schroniskopromyk.pl/aga-7 a bit scared, scruffy little black thing. Something drew me to look the website up, I was lingering such a long time with getting a dog, so I must have thought: When, if not now?
