Sisu

In fall of 2025, as word spread that the Shen Life Pack had an opening after our beloved Atlas crossed the rainbow bridge, the universe conspired in our favor. When we heard about an 8-month-old pup needing a new home, something clicked.

We took the leap—and what a perfect decision it's been.

Meet Sisu (see-soo), whose name carries powerful Finnish wisdom meaning "determination," "resilience," or simply "never give up." Named after a character who embodied these very qualities, he serves as our daily reminder to keep moving forward, regardless of obstacles.

In a beautiful twist of synchronicity, we discovered Sisu's father shares lineage with Vishen and Raven's father—a connection that reveals itself daily in his mannerisms and spirit.

Some pack members are chosen. Others seem destined. Sisu is definitely the latter.
