Yellow - Male - "Addy"

Addy the adventurer - by far the most active and mobile of the pups. Addy was named n reference to a quote by Rudyard Kipling (see below). . Addy wanders all over the box, over Dezzie's back and under all the rails and must be rescued, so like the quotes from the poem, whoever is watching him is captive in heavy harness, with no sleep, to rescue Addy from his latest adventure. While Addy may be more imp than "half devil and half child" there is something about him that everyone notices.....

This famous poem, written by Britain's imperial poet, was a response to the American take over of the Phillipines after the Spanish-American War.

Rudyard Kipling, The White Man's Burden, 1899

Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child........
