HIS LIFE AT SCHOOL
BANDIDO like his great grandmother Johanna at St. Brendan High School and his grandfather Joe at Belen Jesuit,  began to go to school with Grace when he is was young pup.


It was in the school pool where he really learned to swim.

and he became a great swimmer and was obsessed with teaching others how to swim 

At school he became an ACTOR.  He participated in Christmas plays, classroom plays, Senior Skits, Pep Rallies, all sport games and events.
  
Below you learn how Bandido became one more BOY AT BELEN JESUIT SCHOOL

BANDIDO 
like your grandmother Johanna and your grandfather Joe
YOU WILL NEVER, EVER BE FORGOTTEN!
You did more for your breed than any other Rottweiler has ever done.
You touched many hearts, you taught people how to love.
BANDIDO
I have to tell you a secret I kept from you.
You knew you were a ROTTWEILER as I told you many, many times.
But, you never knew you WERE A DOG!
BANDIDO
You were my HEART 
and whatever is left In me it is only ticking to remember you!
BANDIDO
You and I will always be together, here or there, we will.
BANDIDO
I cannot wait to hug you again

me, Grace
