I had the joy of meeting 8 month old Sebastian as a result of his fantastic fund-raising efforts in the Colorado Pet Pantry 2022 Calendar Contest. This handsome fellow, along with his human friends and family raised enough money to feed 109 Colorado pets for a WHOLE MONTH!!! An accomplishment which secured him the coveted title of Mr. October.
During our mid-heat wave session with Sebastian’s favorite people, Matt & Camdin, we pushed our photo shoot as close to sunset as possible. But didn’t have much trouble finding epic views at Red Rocks park.
Hitting the park on a random Monday meant we got it mostly to ourselves. Which was fantastic since they’re very strict about staying on the trail. While technically still a puppy, Sebastian was super focused and an absolute joy to work with as we explored the trails in search of photo ops.
Named for St. Sebastian, Sebbe as he’s lovingly nick-named, came to join his dad Matt during the height of the pandemic. The holy namesake seemed the perfect fit as St. Sebastian is most notably remembered as a protector against the plague.
Of course this Sebastian is better known for enjoying the great outdoors. Relaxing in Wash park with his people, bird-watching, and chasing bunnies. Not to mention being super helpful around the house. Whenever it’s time to change the bed-sheets Sebastian does his part by bounding into the middle of the bed when each new layer is added. Perhaps he’s just ensuring there’s no wrinkles that could lead to a sleepless night?
Once Sebastian has finished up helping with the household chores, he lives up his downtown lifestyle with people-watching and taking selfies at the top of his list.
When I asked Matt what he loved most about Sebastian this is what he shared, ” Although he doesn’t speak with his mouth, he’s a very emotional and sensitive dog, and I can always tell his mood. 99% of the time, he’s happy and playful! I’ve known a lot of dogs in my life. This dog is truly a lover and has amazing positive energy. I feel blessed and lucky to have him!”
In Sebastian's own words ” I’m happiest when I’m outside, chewing on something, eating, and/or receiving cuddles from my humans. I love my pet friends and am excited that I can help raise money to give to those in need.”
