Presentation of Al-Dahná's Up to Date (Sesto)


Al-Dahná's Up to Date, or Sesto, as he is called, was born on August 18th 2006. He lives in the small Norwegian town of Sandefjord, together with his mum N CH Al-Dahná's Reqitha Sunshineflower (Reqitha), human mum Anita Andersen, human dad Morten Gundersen and their two boys, Eivind and Atle.

Sesto is a dog that is used to be together with dogs of all breeds, both dogs and bitches, and never quarrels with anybody. He adores his family, and is very good with both children and grown-ups. Sesto is a "thinking" dog. He can lie down or sit and contemplate the world for ages. Human mum, Anita, never gets tired of looking at him, and can do so for hours at a time.

Sesto is usually very well behaved, but he does have an common interest with his mum, Requitha, and that is to empty the kitchen cupboards of food, wet or dry, for then to distribute this all over the garden. This is an interest that is not always well received by the human family members.

Sesto has one special ability, and that is to "talk", specially with Atle. He sits down with Atle and talks about all the bad things that have happened. The family are all in agreement about one thing: Sesto is the best dog in the world!!
