Beautiful: wonderful; very pleasing; delightful

Banta is such a strikingly beautiful puppy. With her light creamy fur and her dark eyes she received lots and lots of comments are her looks. As she grew up the accents on her ears and down her back grew darker into a butterscotch or caramel color. One day not long before she went back to Guide Dogs for the Blind we were walking along the Jordan River with the sun on her fur she looked like she was burnished with copper. These photos taken by our puppy club leader in December of 2009 are my favorites showing the beauty of her younger days.
