Since the loss of Rangewood’s mascot Moose last October, there was no replacement that was even considered. Then, the famous last words “let’s just go by the shelter and look…” That is as we all know, just a ruse for what happens next. That was the day in February that we went to the Humane society and found this darling, small, cute puppy. He was two months old and a surrender. His breed is a Beauceron, a French herding and guard dog. 8.8 pounds. So sweet…well needless to say he came home with us a few days later. We were not in agreement as to what should be his name. I suggested Beau, and Steve suggested Bandit. We decided to take it to a neutral party to decide. I was working on a film with Mr. Tom Hanks and the following morning when he came into the trailer, I showed him the photo and asked what his opinion of a name most suited this little fur ball. Tom looked at the photo and said immediately “Bandit, because of the mask!” So here he is, he has mighty big shoes to fill but he is well on his way to making his mark…(and I’m not talking about all the spots in the house!) Bandit is quite a character and has grown to at least 45lbs in the last 3 months. He is with the rest of the Posse out in the field all week and is having a blast exploring and being with the guys. We will keep you up to date on all of his Adventures!
